{"product_id":"boswell-stanley-elkin-9781564781741","title":"Boswell: A Modern Comedy","description":"Boswell is Stanley Elkin's first and funniest novel: the comic odyssey of a twentieth-century groupie who collects celebrities as his insurance policy against death. James Boswell--strong man, professional wrestler (his most heroic match is with the Angel of Death)-- is a con man, a gate crasher, and a moocher of epic talent. He is also the hero of one of the most original novel in years ( Oakland Tribune)--a man on the make for all the great men of his time--his logic being that if you can't be a lion, know a pride of them. Can he cheat his way out of mortality?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Elkin, Elkin Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564781747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564781741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1999 pg. 132","brand":"Stanley Elkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939657154815,"sku":"9781564781741","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3f503e8c-f746-48e0-9fb6-d1b9697c0642.jpg?v=1681442755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boswell-stanley-elkin-9781564781741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
