{"product_id":"letters-of-mari-sandoz-mari-sandoz-9780803242067","title":"Letters of Mari Sandoz","description":"Mari Sandoz came out of the Sandhills of Nebraska to write at least three enduring books: \u003ci\u003eOld Jules\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCheyenne Autumn\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCrazy Horse, the Strange Man of the Oglalas\u003c\/i\u003e. She was a tireless researcher, a true storyteller, an artist passionately dedicated to a place little known and a people largely misunderstood. Blasted by some critics, revered by others for her vivid detail and depth of feeling, Sandoz has achieved a secure place in American literature. Her letters, edited by Helen Winter Stauffer, reveal extraordinary courage and zest for life. \u003cp\u003eIncluded here are letters written by Sandoz over nearly forty years--from 1928, the year of her father's death and a critical one for her creative development, to 1966, the year of her own death. They allow memorable glimpses of the professional and private person: her struggles to learn her craft in spite of an unsupportive family and hard-won formal education, her experiences in gathering material, her relationships with editors and publishers, her work with fledgling writers, and her commitment to art and to various social concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mari Sandoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803242069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803242067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.33w x 1.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/1992","brand":"Mari Sandoz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926184820991,"sku":"9780803242067","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b0aa5c94-adf1-48fd-8b33-c25ddebc6560.jpg?v=1681081672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-of-mari-sandoz-mari-sandoz-9780803242067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
