In \"Rosa,\" that same woman appears 30 years later, \"a mad woman and a scavenger\" in a Miami hotel. She has no life in the present because her past will never end. In both stories, there is a shawl—a shawl that can sustain a starving child, inadvertently destroy her, or magically conjure her back to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Both stories were originally published in the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e in the 1980s; each was included in the annual Best American Short Stories and awarded First Prize in the annual O. Henry Prize Stories collection. Each succeeds in imagining the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness of its aftermath. Fiercely immediate, complex, and unforgettable, each is a masterwork by a writer the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e hailed as \"the most accomplished and graceful literary stylist of our time.\"\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"9781598876840","offer_id":40952906318001,"sku":"9781598876840","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/workman-feed-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/the-shawl","provider":"zzz_Workman Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
