{"product_id":"wednesdays-child","title":"Wednesday's Child","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dazzling new collection of short stories written over a decade, spanning loss, alienation, ageing and the strangeness of contemporary life – from Yiyun Li, the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Goose\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA grieving mother makes a spreadsheet of everyone she’s lost. A professor develops a troubled intimacy with her hairdresser. And every year, a restless woman receives an email from a strange man twice her age and several states away. In Yiyun Li’s stories, people strive for an ordinary existence until doing so becomes unsustainable, until the surface cracks and grand mysterious forces – death, violence, estrangement – come to light. And even everyday life is laden with meaning, studded with indelible details: a filched jar of honey, a mound of wounded ants, a photograph kept hidden for many years, until it must be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLi is an alchemist of opposites: tender and unsentimental, metaphysical and blunt, funny and horrifying, omniscient and yet acutely aware of just how much we cannot know. Taken together, the stories in \u003cem\u003eWednesday's Child\u003c\/em\u003e articulate the true cost of living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yiyun Li","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44992632160303,"sku":"9780008531874","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9780008531874.jpg?v=1772182404","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/wednesdays-child","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
