Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214741893375,"sku":"9781935554356","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781935554356_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597856","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781935554356","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
