{"product_id":"everybody-loves-somebody-9780316013451","title":"Everybody Loves Somebody","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoanna Scott's unparalleled gift for storytelling has inspired hyperbole from critics and her devoted fanbase, which includes some of the most preeminent writers of our time. But not since Various Antidotes, a finalist for the PEN\/FaulknerAward, has she turned her talents toward short stories. At the seaside wedding of two lovers kept apart by the caprices of fate, a doting uncle looks on while his errant brother, father of the bride, struggles to free himself from a locked bathroom across town. A young woman arrives in Jazz Age New York with stars in her eyes and a few coins in her pocket and after a string of failed jobs, she thinks she's found salvation in a romance with her boss at a local greasy spoon but learns that her idea of herself and others' ideas of her are quite different. A bright business man seems content with all the trappings his good fortune affords, until a flat tire and a chance encounter with a couple of mechanics in the country upsets his entire view. Here Joanna Scott offers a group of tales that celebrate her acknowledged sense of character, plot and her gift for capturing the breathtaking tension even in life's quietest moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316013451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/11\/2006 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2006 pg. 927\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2006 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/08\/2006 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2006 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2007 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoanna Scott\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eleven books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Manikin\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; \u003ci\u003eVarious Antidotes\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eArrogance\u003c\/i\u003e, which were both finalists for the PEN\/Faulkner Awards; and the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eMake Believe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTourmaline\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiberation\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFollow Me\u003c\/i\u003e.
