{"product_id":"a-river-in-egypt-david-means-9780571352494","title":"A River in Egypt","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. \nIn 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.\nCavanaugh 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’.\nBringing 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":50702823850272,"sku":"9780571352494","price":3.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780571352494.jpg?v=1780829848","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-river-in-egypt-david-means-9780571352494","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
