{"product_id":"early-stories","title":"Early Stories","description":"Gathering together almost all the short fiction that John Updike published between 1953 and 1975, this collection opens with Updike's autobiographical stories about a young boy growing up during the Depression in a small Pennsylvania town.  There follows tales of life away from home, student days, early marriage and young families, and finally Updike's experimental stories on 'The Single Life'.  Here, then, is a rich and satisfying feast of Updike - his wit, his easy mastery of language, his genius for recalling the subtleties of ordinary life and the excitements, and perils, of the pursuit of happiness.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227598901592,"sku":"9780141016085","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780141016085_1cab92fe-45bb-456d-86e4-e9b3e58742c0.jpg?v=1764472534","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/early-stories","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
