What Goes without Saying brings together thirty of her previously published stories. In \"Sound of Shadows,\" she takes readers through the double-bolted front door of a rowhouse, into the narrow quarters of Mrs. Bart, an elderly widow who has folded her life into her dark living room where the sole light in her \"one room wide\" world comes from the magenta- and green-tinged colors flashing on her television screen. We follow the muezzin's melancholy call in \"A Walk with Raschid,\" an O. Henry Prize story about an intriguing ten-year-old Arab boy who guides a honeymoon couple through the Moroccan Fez. And the tautly written \"Protection\" begins with an exacting poetic image that is typical of Jacobsen's insightful prose: \"Mica sparkles. The banshee ambulance is beating its mad bell. Like a reaped grassblade on a meadow of macadam, its object lies.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50042385269009,"sku":"CIN0801863384VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53143007527185,"sku":"NGR9780801863387","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53427757154577,"sku":"CIN0801863384G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801863384.jpg?v=1750882593"},{"product_id":"in-the-crevice-of-time-book-josephine-jacobsen-9780801863394","title":"In the Crevice of Time","description":"Collected poetry from the 1995 National Book Award finalist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007247286545,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007250137361,"sku":"NIN9780801863394","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52480045089041,"sku":"NLS9780801863394","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801863392.jpg?v=1750818520"},{"product_id":"contents-of-a-minute-book-josephine-jacobsen-9781932511581","title":"Contents of A Minute","description":"Josephine Jacobsen left behind a legacy of almost a dozen books and several considerable honors, including a position as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (1971–1973), the 1988 Lenore Marshall Award, the 1993 Shelley Memorial Award, and the Poetry Society of America’s highest honor—the Robert Frost Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Poetry—in 1997.
