{"product_id":"hearts-in-atlantis-stephen-king-9780684853512","title":"Hearts In Atlantis","description":"Stephen King, whose first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation. Images from that war -- and the protests against it -- had flooded America's living rooms for a decade. Hearts in Atlantis, King's newest fiction, is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War. In Part One, \"Low Men in Yellow Coats,\" eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast. In \"Blind Willie\" and \"Why We're in Vietnam,\" two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow -- and as haunted -- as their own lives. And in \"Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling,\" this remarkable book's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him. Full of danger, full of suspense, most of all full of heart, Stephen King's new book will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684853515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684853512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.62w x 1.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bram Stoker Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bram Stoker Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1999 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1999 pg. 988\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1999 pg. 1893\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/26\/1999 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/1999 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/17\/1999 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/20\/1999 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/1999 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Editors Choice\/Adult\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 817\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2000 pg. 1532\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2000 pg. 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1999","brand":"Stephen King","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435264192767,"sku":"9780684853512","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c403bea-140c-4e88-a158-d3e6e8619ac8.jpg?v=1777149284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hearts-in-atlantis-stephen-king-9780684853512","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
