{"product_id":"last-refuge-of-a-scoundrel-kelly-hennessy-9781640823235","title":"Last Refuge of a Scoundrel","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart epistolary novel laced with flights of magic realism escapist fantasy, part bellettrist polemic debating a shopping list of culture war topics, Last Refuge of a Scoundrel is an unusual, multifaceted and densely textured book meant to linger on your palate long after you put it down. Much of the action revolves around a bitter, protracted homeowners association dispute in north San Diego County, alternately, hilarious and enraging. It's a novel of ideas, ever strumming the \"as above, so below\" riff and its obverse, as well as the never-tiring theme of the individual against the collective, and a less cartoonish construction of the meaning of patriotism. Will the reader be surprised by how and where the protagonist at last finds his refuge?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Hennessy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1640823239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640823235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Page Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 2.07d","brand":"Kelly Hennessy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485733400831,"sku":"9781640823235","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb10ccac-e176-4afa-8710-4fe9b82718fa.jpg?v=1778051218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/last-refuge-of-a-scoundrel-kelly-hennessy-9781640823235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
