{"product_id":"the-barista-and-i-andrew-szymanski-9781554830848","title":"The Barista and I","description":"Andrew Szymanski's debut fiction collection takes on subjects such as idealized love in an illogical world, ruminations on the realities of failed relationships, and the inability to make meaningful connections. In these stories, a man recruits a sexual companion to chase his lost lover across the globe; a recent graduate remembers with bitter nostalgia his formative years; a man and woman contend with their own neuroses and anxieties in trying to pick each other up. Szymanski's distinct voice permeates these stories of characters trying vainly to escape the ennui of their lives through the distractions of dreams and vices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Szymanski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554830842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554830848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Insomniac Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Andrew Szymanski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217473843455,"sku":"9781554830848","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93c06062-f0b3-492e-9b6d-0c694b017bea.jpg?v=1771997451","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-barista-and-i-andrew-szymanski-9781554830848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
