{"product_id":"the-play-and-other-stories","title":"The Play and Other Stories","description":"These tough urban tales present characters beset by bizarre bureaucracies, real and imagined city violence, and private hells of their own making. A man who witnesses a baby falling to its death from an apartment building begins to hallucinate his own child tumbling from his apartment window—he finally has to leave the city to retain his sanity. Evicted from his apartment and dumped by his lover, another character is offered ten thousand dollars by an eccentric, only to be arrested for counterfeiting. Unifying these seventeen stories is the characters’ ability to find inner reserves that enable them to continue their struggle to make an uneasy peace with friends, lovers, the city, and themselves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0918273455\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0918273455.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dixon, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
