{"product_id":"london-bridge-steven-dhondt-9781665718394","title":"London Bridge: A Fictional Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eTom Pierson's freshman obsessions-with American literature and with the pert assistant to the dean of Abbott College-dominate his first term. When his idealism, inspired by Jack London's portrayal of working-class struggles, collides with establishment forces, he learns to rue a lesson from London: that fate is often capriciously twisted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteven Dhondt brings passion and literary sophistication to this coming-of-age novel. The telltale themes-idolization of inspiring role models, youthful bravado undermined by self doubt, first love, and betrayal-are outlined in graceful prose with signature empathy. Dhondt deftly pays homage to Jack London by emulating the master's satire and keen understanding of human nature in a story that builds to a tumultuous conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I need to find my way. And I think it's through London. Show me how to travel.
