Her name became an adjective: \u003ci\u003eBeattiesque\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSubtle, wry, and unnerving, she is a master observer of the unraveling of the American family, and of the myriad small occurrences and affinities that unite us. Her characters, over nearly four decades, have moved from lives of fickle desire to the burdens and inhibitions of adulthood and on to failed aspirations, sloppy divorces, and sometimes enlightenment, even grace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach Beattie story, says Margaret Atwood, is like a fresh bulletin from the front: we snatch it up, eager to know what's happening out there on the edge of that shifting and dubious no-man's-land known as interpersonal relations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an unparalleled gift for dialogue and laser wit, she delivers flash reports on the cultural landscape of her time. \u003ci\u003eAnn Beattie: The New Yorker Stories \u003c\/i\u003eis the perfect initiation for readers new to this iconic American writer and a glorious return for those who have known and loved her work for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2001661\"\u003eAnn Beattie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.32w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439168752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143916875X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC029000\"\u003eShort Stories (single author)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Scribner Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42686008328429,"sku":"9781439168752","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_63e4f78a-f8fa-45f6-966e-008420401c4e.jpg?v=1649773097","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-new-yorker-stories-9781439168752","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
