{"product_id":"blissful-and-other-stories-9780692944264","title":"Blissful: and Other Stories","description":"This gathering of stories straddles the borderland between realism and absurdism, telling true tall tales of lightning strikes, deadly pranks, mixed luggage, mysterious encounters in a Zen center, a faith healer down on his luck, all in the ragged pursuit of love, where humor guards the bridge between the sound heart and lunacy.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eBlissful And Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Huff is a master stylist and an American original.
