{"product_id":"french-defense-clifford-gordon-wayne-9780984822959","title":"French Defense","description":"The three plays forming the French Defense trilogy, center on the Paul Morphy Chess Club of New Orleans and a club member's psychotic breakdown - a modern ghost story. Playing serious chess, of course, provides an excellent metaphorical vehicle for depicting Player's struggle. However there are other issues explored in these plays than that of having a breakdown in New Orleans. The other characters in the French Defense have their own critical and important narrative arcs to tread. Weakness and strength of human character through the abstract emotions of love, compassion, failure, grief, and jealousy run throughout this trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Gordon Wayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 098482295X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984822959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Otter Track Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Clifford Gordon Wayne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474002362623,"sku":"9780984822959","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d217f32-4dbd-49f8-bc33-c929039cc527.jpg?v=1762314346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-defense-clifford-gordon-wayne-9780984822959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
