{"product_id":"longing-for-elsewhere-renee-gibbons-9780615554884","title":"Longing for Elsewhere: My Irish Voyage Through Hunger, History and High Times","description":"Born in a Dublin tenement in the middle of the 20th Century, this dead-poor, curious Irish girl escaped to Paris when she was 17 with the help of a nun, a Hollywood actor, and a kind stranger. There she was accepted into the emigre community blacklisted in the McCarthy era. She met James Baldwin and Ring Lardner Jr.; Ruth Gordon gave her a fur coat. Still restless and full of dreams she spent years working her way around the world. On a ship bound for Egypt with her year-old daughter Aisling she fell in love with a radical longshoreman from San Francisco. The memoir Longing for Elsewhere explores the themes entangled in her journey: identity, adventure, creativity, the burdens of history, and the passion for justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renee Gibbons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615554881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615554884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Renee Gibbons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Renee Gibbons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946848715007,"sku":"9780615554884","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25b57eb9-ad38-4f06-877a-43cde4b46988.jpg?v=1681515446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/longing-for-elsewhere-renee-gibbons-9780615554884","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
