{"product_id":"14-stories","title":"14 Stories","description":"Stephen Dixon's stories and novels have an original, immediately recognizable sound and feel -a weird blend of Franz Kafka and Frank Capra. Readers of his previous work will find in  14 Stories that same wry, inventive, knife-edged humor that has come to characterize his distinctive style. With an adroit use of language and a keen eye for the quirky, offbeat side of human nature, Dixon creates a world as viewed through a fish-eye lens-slightly distorted and off-center, yet recognizable and often familiar. 14 Stories is part comedy, part tragedy, part social comment and part spoof. But most of all it is a highly entertaining series of all-too-plausible vignettes that shows off Stephen Dixon's remarkable talent at its best.","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54226066899288,"sku":"9780801872051","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780801872051__6773fc94b6a03_52198c51-d3d5-4e73-a65b-6a0874af4b38.jpg?v=1741156243","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/14-stories","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
