{"product_id":"books-the-early-stories-by-john-updike","title":"The Early Stories","description":"Gathering together almost all the short fiction that John Updike published between 1953 and 1975, this collection opens with Updike's autobiographical stories about a young boy growing up during the Depression in a small Pennsylvania town.  There follows tales of life away from home, student days, early marriage and young families, and finally Updike's experimental stories on 'The Single Life'.  Here, then, is a rich and satisfying feast of Updike - his wit, his easy mastery of language, his genius for recalling the subtleties of ordinary life and the excitements, and perils, of the pursuit of happiness.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53770919608593,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780141016085.jpg?v=1783964473","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-early-stories-by-john-updike","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
