{"product_id":"a-life-wright-morris-9780803281066","title":"A Life","description":"Floyd Warner, eighty-two, has driven from California to his childhood home in Nebraska in his antique Maxwell coupe. There he confronts the smoldering remains of this late sister's house and the realization that he is now completely alone. As though in a trance, he sets out once again, this time to find his first adult home, a dusty sheep farm in the southwest, preparing to meet the fate that ultimately awaits him. \u003cp\u003eOf such deceptively simple ingredients is this brilliant portrait of the last hours of an old man's life composed. Floyd Warner, who first appeared in \u003ci\u003eFire Sermon\u003c\/i\u003e, is perhaps the ultimate characterization in the career of a writer who has been called \"quite simply the best novelist now writing in America\" (John W. Aldridge).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wright Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803281064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803281066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Wright Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926196158719,"sku":"9780803281066","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b71a5d51-52b7-4d75-b8d8-5145d376f60b.jpg?v=1681081731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-wright-morris-9780803281066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
