{"product_id":"hard-bread-peg-boyers-9780226069654","title":"Hard Bread","description":"The poems in Peg Boyers's \u003ci\u003eHard Bread\u003c\/i\u003e are \"spoken\" in the imagined voice of the Italian writer, Natalia Ginzburg (1916-91). While much of the book is based on Ginzburg's life--her upbringing in Turin; her brief marriage to the resistance activist, Leone Ginzburg; her experience of Fascism and war; her work as novelist, playwright, editor, and newspaper columnist; her embattled friendships with writers like Primo Levi, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ernest Hemingway, and Cesare Pavese--much is invented. The result is a book by turns melancholy and acerbic, mournful and satiric, contemplative and combative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peg Boyers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226069656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226069654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 6.02w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2002 pg. 97","brand":"Peg Boyers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119452549375,"sku":"9780226069654","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1514bb86-a5c0-4328-bed5-36b638fb4487.jpg?v=1687409433","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-bread-peg-boyers-9780226069654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
