{"product_id":"books-the-magic-barrel-by-bernard-malamud","title":"The Magic Barrel","description":"In this collection of stories Malamud displays his great gifts as a writer - his humour, his profound concern for all human life and his ability to transmute common things and people into a strange poetry. Many of his characters are Jewish (the title story, for example, is about a rabbinical student trying to find a wife through a very peculiar marriage broker) but through his gentle and haunting exploration of their predicaments he illuminates a region that is common to every man's world.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53675394564369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780099436980.jpg?v=1781541410","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-magic-barrel-by-bernard-malamud","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
