{"product_id":"9780141016085-secondhand-the-early-stories-1953-1975","title":"The Early Stories: 1953-1975","description":"A grand collection of Updike's inimitable early stories.\n\nGathering together almost all the short fiction that John Updike published between 1953 and 1975, this collection opens with Updike's autobiographical stories about a young boy growing up during the Depression in a small Pennsylvania town.  There follows tales of life away from home, student days, early marriage and young families, and finally Updike's experimental stories on 'The Single Life'.  Here, then, is a rich and satisfying feast of Updike - his wit, his easy mastery of language, his genius for recalling the subtleties of ordinary life and the excitements, and perils, of the pursuit of happiness.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48979923140827,"sku":"9780141016085-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1bdcf402-082e-4815-b1f3-088340412d80.jpg?v=1784220079","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780141016085-secondhand-the-early-stories-1953-1975","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
