These stories are anchored by a poignant novella that delivers not only the joys and travails of a forty-year marriage, but an entire era in a working-class New England city. Bristling with the crackling energy of life itself, Maggie Brown \u0026amp; Others marks the most sustained achievement to date for \"a master of his form\" (New York Times).A New York Times Notable Book A Chicago Tribune Notable Book An Oprah Magazine Best Book of 2019 Kirkus Reviews Best Short Fiction of 2019 Longlisted for the Simpson\/Joyce Carol Oates Prize\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737232605472,"sku":"NEW0316516120","price":16.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61IDa-1D85L.jpg?v=1779555436","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/maggie-brown-others-0316516120","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
