{"product_id":"cigarettes-are-sublime-richard-klein-9780822316411","title":"Cigarettes Are Sublime","description":"Cigarettes are bad for you; that is why they are so good. With its origins in the author's urgent desire to stop smoking, \u003ci\u003eCigarettes Are Sublime\u003c\/i\u003e offers a provocative look at the literary, philosophical, and cultural history of smoking. Richard Klein focuses on the dark beauty, negative pleasures, and exacting benefits attached to tobacco use and to cigarettes in particular. His appreciation of paradox and playful use of hyperbole lead the way on this aptly ambivalent romp through the cigarette in war, movies (the \"Humphrey Bogart cigarette\"), literature, poetry, and the reflections of Sartre to show that cigarettes are a mixed blessing, precisely sublime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Klein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822316412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822316411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.89h x 6.06w x 0.71d","brand":"Richard Klein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992503714047,"sku":"9780822316411","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9055562d-f335-473e-bb03-db708c177d41.jpg?v=1683319297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cigarettes-are-sublime-richard-klein-9780822316411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
