Williams's genius lies as much in what is left unspoken as in what is laid out on the page; behind images of startling beauty and strangeness, entire chamber dramas of the heart unfold, and the pleasure of these sphinxlike tales comes from their unremitting mystery, which is the same mystery fundamental to life and to love. A collection of rare originality and daring, \u003ci\u003eI Liked Rex\u003c\/i\u003e is a complete and utter delight.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47658225467647,"sku":"9798896230816","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798896230816_s600x595.jpg?v=1782149489","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798896230816","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
