Along the way, he meets a host of fascinating city characters, including a Holocaust survivor, a repentant communist, and rats who behave like humans.Hilarious and bittersweet, Greenberg's stories invite us into a world where the familial, the literary, the tragic, and the mundane not only speak to one another, but deeply enjoy the exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735467360544,"sku":"NEW0307740676","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71V4s7dCpUL.jpg?v=1779485734","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/beg-borrow-steal-a-writers-life-0307740676","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
