Though perhaps best known as a novelist and poet, Price here likewise demonstrates his mastery of the short story. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n These fifty stories include two early collections -- \u003ci\u003eThe Names and Faces of Heroes\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePermanent Errors\u003c\/i\u003e -- as well as more than two dozen stories that are gathered only in \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Stories.\u003c\/i\u003e In his introduction, the author explains how, at one point, he wrote no stories for almost twenty years. \"But,\" he writes, \"once I needed -- for unknown reasons in a new and radically altered life -- to return to the story, it opened before me like a new chance.\" Indeed, chances abound here in stories that will astonish even Price's most devoted readers as they travel through not only the author's native North Carolina but also Jerusalem, the American Southwest, Europe, and Asia.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871663476894,"sku":"HPC-9780743244992","price":40.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743244992.jpg?v=1779618629","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743244992","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
