Her stories have no equal in our literature.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDark, gothic, fantastic, and grotesque, these haunting stories are among the world's most individual and finest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Silvina Ocampo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660819230876,"sku":"9781590177679","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0b12c86e-a06c-47d7-bd5e-d00afdec6def.jpg?v=1603897616","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thus-were-their-faces-selected-stories-9781590177679","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
