{"product_id":"bridgeport-bus-maureen-howard-9780140055665","title":"Bridgeport Bus","description":"Mary Agnes Keely is finally leaving home, ditching her Irish Catholic upbringing, her widowed mother, and the emptiness of small-town life for the chaos of Manhattan. Her journey will alter many lives: Lydia, whose crazed husband is confined at Shay Acres; Stanley, the dreaming commercial artist who brings his eager body to her virginal bed; and a ragtag array of artists and poets. Choosing her own way, Mary Agnes taps hidden resources in a gradual process of creative self-discovery realizing triumphantly that \"it was no great sin to be, at last, alone.\"Stylistically original, laced with Howard's characteristic irony and sharp wit, \u003cb\u003eBridgeport Bus\u003c\/b\u003e illustrates why \"Maureen Howard belongs on any list of the best American novelist practicing today\" (Robie Maccauley, \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maureen Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140055665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140055665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.73h x 5.03w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/08\/1998 pg. 28","brand":"Maureen Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913372729599,"sku":"9780140055665","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ae975d47-a0f1-4f75-9312-d79e09c3956f.jpg?v=1680618293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridgeport-bus-maureen-howard-9780140055665","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
