{"product_id":"while-the-women-are-sleeping-javier-maras-9780811219143","title":"While the Women Are Sleeping","description":"Slippery figures in anomalous situations - ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminals- haunt these stories by Javier Mar?s: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move, and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another, a ghost can't stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Mar?s manages in a small space to perplex and delight. \"The short story fits Mar?s like a glove,\" as Le point noted. His stories have been hailed as \"formidably intelligent\" (\u003cem\u003eThe London Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e), \"a bracing tonic\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e), and \"startling\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Mar?s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811219143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811219143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Javier Mar?s","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994157154559,"sku":"9780811219143","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b5a2c06-5c5a-47c2-9ad8-752732f7e4b6.jpg?v=1683328465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/while-the-women-are-sleeping-javier-maras-9780811219143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
