{"product_id":"half-a-life-darin-strauss-9780812982534","title":"Half a Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this powerful, unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Darin Strauss examines the far-reaching consequences of the tragic moment that has shadowed his whole life. In his last month of high school, he was behind the wheel of his dad's Oldsmobile, driving with friends, heading off to play mini-golf. Then: a classmate swerved in front of his car. The collision resulted in her death. With piercing insight and stark prose, Darin Strauss leads us on a deeply personal, immediate, and emotional journey--graduating high school, going away to college, starting his writing career, falling in love with his future wife, becoming a father. Along the way, he takes a hard look at loss and guilt, maturity and accountability, hope and, at last, acceptance. The result is a staggering, uplifting tour de force. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLook for special features inside, including an interview with Colum McCann. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darin Strauss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812982533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812982534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.28w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/19\/2011 pg. 28","brand":"Darin Strauss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075431952639,"sku":"9780812982534","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bf157a3-605d-4d8a-9e86-ee1dd98106e1.jpg?v=1685459385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/half-a-life-darin-strauss-9780812982534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
