( Washington Post ) These collected short stories—most of them originally published in magazines including  Esquire  and the  Saturday Evening Post , in the 1960s and 1970s, along with a new story that brings her early characters into the present—are evocative of an era that still resonates deeply today.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the title story, a bystander tries to soothe a woman who seems to have cracked under the pressures of her life. And in several linked stories throughout, the relationship between the narrator and her husband unfolds in telling and often hilarious vignettes. Of their time and yet timeless, Wolitzer's stories zero in on the domestic sphere with wit, candor, grace, and an acutely observant eye. Brilliantly capturing the tensions and contradictions of daily life,  Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket  is full of heart and insight, providing a lens into a world that was often unseen at the time, and often overlooked now—reintroducing a beloved writer to be embraced by a whole new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67934624579620,"sku":"YSL33375","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81FPl3_OYxL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793248900","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b08y8xpx26","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
