{"product_id":"revenge-eleven-dark-tales","title":"Revenge: Eleven Dark Tales","description":"“It’s not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book . . . [and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E. A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes. But this collection may linger in your mind―it does in mine―as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience.” ―Alan Cheuse, NPR\n\nSinister forces collide―and unite a host of desperate characters―in this eerie cycle of interwoven tales from Yoko Ogawa, the critically acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor.\n\nAn aspiring writer moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlady has murdered her husband. Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon is approached by a cabaret singer, whose beautiful appearance belies the grotesque condition of her heart. And while the surgeon’s jealous lover vows to kill him, a violent envy also stirs in the soul of a lonely craftsman. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon’s neighbor―who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders―their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web.\n\nYoko Ogawa’s Revenge is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the last page.\n\nAn NPR Best Book of 2013\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312674465\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0312674465.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ogawa, Yoko|Snyder, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
