{"product_id":"secret-goldfish-book-david-means-9780007164882","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":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557119467793,"sku":"GOR003083996","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49650343543057,"sku":"GOR003398630","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50049908146449,"sku":"GOR003462085","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007164882.jpg?v=1751455692","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/secret-goldfish-book-david-means-9780007164882","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
