As the author writes in \"Strong Boy,\" this might be \"...because every family, rich or poor, is roughage.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe characters, gallant, goofy, gifted, and grim, include sickly mothers of a dozen children, boozy fathers with a gift of the gab, kids aspiring to be nuns and priests, or just to get out of town with a whole skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA section is devoted to one marriage made in heaven: a Jewish psychoanalyst devoted to his ex-nun wife. Another set of stories reworks familiar fairy tales, setting them in the wild present. \u003ci\u003eNo Harm Done\u003c\/i\u003e (whose title is Irish code for wishful thinking) concludes with a truce to the war between the sexes, and indeed a 'solution' to the tragicomedy that is marriage and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.5 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248770728185,"sku":"9781943150076","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/am1HOHZwUjFTbWxGQXdHTUFZVEtXZz09_335c31a7-9ce3-45e3-964a-5063c8b706a0.webp?v=1768640963","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/no-harm-done-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
