{"product_id":"joy-williams-the-pelican-child-9781805228578","title":"The Pelican Child","description":"Lauded as the best story writer of our time, Joy Williams returns with a taut collection that responds to our modern dilemmas with her signature dry wit and deftness of touch. In sinister and shifting landscapes, we meet souls lost and found: from the twin heiresses of a dirty industrial fortune, who must commit a violent act in recompense for their family's deeds, to a newly grown man who still revolves in a dreamscape of his childhood boarding-school innocence, to the \"pelican child\", who lives with the bony, ill-tempered Baba Yaga in a little hut on chicken legs. For readers of Lorrie Moore, Mary Gaitskill and George Saunders, these haunted stories examine the instincts separating us from the beastly and the divine.","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53808346857814,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/joy-williams-the-pelican-child-9781805228578","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
