In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move, and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another, a ghost can't stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Marías manages in a small space to perplex and delight. \"The short story fits Marías like a glove,\" as Le point noted. His stories have been hailed as \"formidably intelligent\" (\u003cem\u003eThe London Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e), \"a bracing tonic\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e), and \"startling\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.9 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757721747744,"sku":"9780811219143","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/211d8e08a4fa9814ac41dd323db1163c.webp?v=1780110058","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/while-the-women-are-sleeping-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
