{"product_id":"river-in-egypt-a","title":"River in Egypt, A","description":"Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his masterful story ‘A River in Egypt’, David Means paints a portrait of a moment. Cavanaugh and his young son are suspended; trapped in what a nurse calls ‘the sweat chamber’, where the boy will be tested for cystic fibrosis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCavanaugh has brought distractions – spasmodic action figures, malformed toy trucks – but they do little to alter the frustration of the sick child screaming, or to alleviate the anxiety of the time spent waiting for ‘some exactitude in the form of a diagnosis’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57863844528463,"sku":"9780571352494","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/river-in-egypt-a","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
