{"product_id":"9781925000337-secondhand-hergesheimer-in-the-present-tense","title":"Hergesheimer in the Present Tense","description":"Thirty stories in the incomparably distinctive voice of the author whose publishing career started with the comic novel Rappaport. One story starts with  I won a house in a lottery , and proceeds to career seemingly out of control   except it isn t. Other stories open in equally startling fashion. Try:  Hergesheimer flees his marriage in a twenty-four year- old car   ;  How do you steal from a thief? ;  Show me a man without tantrum and I ll show you a man without blood ;  The prettiest damsel in many a moon drops a smile in Hergesheimer s direction, which he, ever the gallant, snatches expertly up, with a bow courteously returns.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810628645083,"sku":"9781925000337-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ff22df4-a74a-4a0e-bc73-1da77d988be5.jpg?v=1779806223","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781925000337-secondhand-hergesheimer-in-the-present-tense","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
