{"product_id":"pythons-kiss","title":"Python's Kiss","description":"'Amazing. The first three stories are the best things I've ever read' Ann Patchett, via Reese's Book ClubIt was as though I was chosen-marked out by the python's kiss for wisdom or maybe sorrow. Or perhaps, I think now, a sense of the ridiculous in extremes of experience.   Erdrich's magnificent story collection features a range of characters - a tribal newsletter editor whose son tells her a story that nothing in her experience can encompass, immigrant farmers whose tenuous hold on the earth and sanity, is challenged, and ordinary people, bird lovers, artists, school teachers and romantics. A girl decides to spend her life with a stone. A man is confronted with a folk-singing thief. A woman enters a corporately owned afterlife to seek revenge on her father.   Accompanied by specially commissioned artwork by Aza Erdrich Abe, these stories offer an oppor­tunity to celebrate the wisdom and wide-ranging imagination of one of America's most important writers.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57504827507061,"sku":"9781472160843","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472160843.jpg?v=1786953744","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/pythons-kiss","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
