{"product_id":"book-at0g","title":"What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank","description":"These eight new stories from the celebrated novelist and short-story writer Nathan Englander display a gifted young author grappling with the great questions of modern life, with a command of language and the imagination that place Englander at the very forefront of contemporary American fiction.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver’s masterpiece, is a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. In the outlandishly dark “Camp Sundown” vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave. “Free Fruit for Young Widows” is a small, sharp study in evil, lovingly told by a father to a son. “Sister Hills” chronicles the history of Israel’s settlements from the eve of the Yom Kippur War through the present, a political fable constructed around the tale of two mothers who strike a terrible bargain to save a child. Marking a return to two of Englander’s classic themes, “Peep Show” and “How We Avenged the Blums” wrestle with sexual longing and ingenuity in the face of adversity and peril. And “Everything I Know About My Family on My Mother’s Side” is suffused with an intimacy and tenderness that break new ground for a writer who seems constantly to be expanding the parameters of what he can achieve in the short form.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Beautiful and courageous, funny and achingly sad, Englander’s work is a revelation.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49337513050416,"sku":"BDat0g","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/279605-at0g-Square.jpg?v=1733970329","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-at0g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
