The collection is also in its sixth printing, as Thompson's longstanding critical acclaim crosses over into a popular following. Do Not Deny Me is perfectly positioned to gain an even wider audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Do Not Deny Me: Here is a title that demands--and commands--attention in and of itself. Yet Thompson's latest collection is no literary dare, delivering as it does twelve dazzling new stories that together offer, with wit, humor, and razor-sharp perception, a fictional primer on how Americans live day to day. In Thompson's writing, The New York Times Book Review has noted, \"some of the biggest satisfactions happen line by line, thanks to Thompson's effortless ability to tip her prose into the universal.\" Thompson succeeds as \"one of our most astute diagnosticians of contemporary experience\" (The Boston Globe).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416595632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.58w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/06\/2009 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2009 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/2009 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/26\/2009 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/06\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jean Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42856349466805,"sku":"9781416595632","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_805ba85b-168f-4c17-bfab-ab5643c6cc8c.jpg?v=1683038295","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/do-not-deny-me-stories-9781416595632","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
