About this product
Product Information
In the grand tradition of Neapolitan ice cream, ZZ Top, and Cerberus, the tri-headed guardian of Hades, this set combines individual, short fiction collections by three talented practitioners of the short-short form. Manguso's Hard to Admit and Harder to Escape is a series of crystalline recollections of her childhood misadventures; Eggers' How the Water Feels to the Fishes brings a deadpan absurdism to the intimacy and vision of his earlier work; and Unferth's rollicking Minor Robberies unleashes a horde of off-kilter characters and their indelible misadventures. Each author's work comes in its own hardcover, foil-stamped volume, and the three volumes are housed in an elegant slipcase.

Item arrived in a timely and efficient manner! However, pictures did not accurately show the condition of the product I feel, as there were scratches on each corner which I couldn’t see in the pictures. The mailing packaging was not as sufficient as I would have hoped for which could have led to the scratches. The description mentioned nothing about said scratches and imperfections and talked about how the item was in “mint” condition, which it was not (or was and got damaged in shipping)
