{"product_id":"cane-warbler-classics-jean-toomer-9781954525146","title":"Cane (Warbler Classics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1923, Cane is a significant work of Modernist fiction and a literary Goliath of the Harlem Renaissance. In this wholly original novel Jean Toomer highlights issues of class and caste in a three-part pastiche of poems, vignettes, and play-like stories. The audacious, non-traditional structure of the book reflects the prismatic nature of the material itself. Toomer's close observations during a stint as school principal in Sparta, Georgia, primarily informed what Houston A. Baker, Jr. calls a \"mysterious brand of Southern psychological realism that has been matched only in the best work of William Faulkner.\" This edition includes Jean Toomer's essay, \u003cem\u003eThe Crock of Problems, \u003c\/em\u003e in which the author discusses race in America and his own diverse ethnic heritage, and an extensive biographical note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Toomer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954525141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954525146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Warbler Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.40d","brand":"Jean Toomer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987041681663,"sku":"9781954525146","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d92f8a26-bea4-492c-a429-6173a028b448.jpg?v=1683286664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cane-warbler-classics-jean-toomer-9781954525146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
