{"product_id":"books-the-secret-goldfish-by-david-means","title":"The Secret Goldfish","description":"An extraordinary collection of short stories from the Man Booker prize longlisted author of HYSTOPIA.             In the tradition of Raymond Carver or Tobias Wolff, these are all-encompassing stories of the American psyche, of love and loss and of the landscape and its people.             A goldfish circles in its bowl, refusing to die, becoming the silent focus of a difficult family life; a pianist loses his talents as he is forced to question the meaning of love and commitment. Through a blend of lyricism and humour, these stories of ordinary human dilemmas take flight and become mythical and universal. David Means is a rare writer who transports us to the heart of what it is to be human.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669344542993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780007164882.jpg?v=1781507816","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-secret-goldfish-by-david-means","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
