{"product_id":"heartbreaker-stories-9780374536060","title":"Heartbreaker: Stories","description":"In her debut story collection \u003ci\u003eHeartbreaker\u003c\/i\u003e, Maryse Meijer peels back the crust of normalcy and convention, unmasking the fury and violence we are willing to inflict in the name of love and loneliness. Her characters are a strange ensemble--a feral child, a girl raised from the dead, a possible pedophile--who share in vulnerability and heartache, but maintain an unremitting will to survive. Meijer deals in desire and sex, femininity and masculinity, family and girlhood, crafting a landscape of appetites threatening to self-destruct. In beautifully restrained and exacting prose, she sets the marginalized free to roam her pages and burn our assumptions to the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaryse Meijer's work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eMeridian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Saint Ann's Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Reunion: The Dallas Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Portland Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eactual paper. \u003c\/i\u003eShe lives in Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fsg Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50491699429650,"sku":"9780374536060","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a0fddc9d-4676-45ee-a4cf-aa7465046d4b.jpg?v=1730550485","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/heartbreaker-stories-9780374536060","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
