{"product_id":"fugitives-of-the-heart-william-gay-9781604892734","title":"Fugitives of the Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this, William Gay's last posthumous novel, we have his homage to Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Set in post-World War II Tennessee, in Gay's familiar \"Harrikan\" area. Marion Yates is a teenager recently orphaned when his notoriously licentious mother dies. When Yates eyes a pocketknife at the local grocery-hardware store, he is befriended by Black Crowe, who buys the knife for him. Yates in turn nurses Crowe through a work explosion, and the two form a seemingly lasting friendship. Yates falls in love, of course, and of course the love is thwarted. First love, racism, and betrayal-these are all topped with Gay's signature wry humor in his signature Tennessee fictional setting. Gay again proves himself a master of prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604892730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604892734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Livingston Press at the University of West Al\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"William Gay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052386480383,"sku":"9781604892734","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c033ef81-4562-4f3f-9781-e5174c7fb3bc.jpg?v=1685018507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fugitives-of-the-heart-william-gay-9781604892734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
