{"product_id":"love-warps-the-mind-a-john-dufresne-9780393330953","title":"Love Warps the Mind a Little","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Love Warps the Mind a Little opens, Lafayette Proulx has quit his day job, left his wife, hauled his dog and his Royal portable across town to Judi Dubey's house, and set out, at last, to be a fiction writer. But life is complicated. Laf spends a lot of his writing time staring out the window at his dog, Spot; Judi's dysfunctional family is unraveling; rejection letters from editors are coming in; and Judi, of all people, has sent him onto the marriage counselor's couch to sort out his angry feelings about his wife. To make matters worse, Judi is diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Judi - she will break your heart and be remembered as one of the most lovable characters in American fiction - fights a heroic battle against the disease that becomes the backdrop for an exploration of illness, how it limits and expands our capacities for desire and passion, and love, its mystery and transparency, as Judi and Laf struggle to find the memory that will comfort, the truth that will redeem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John DuFresne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393330958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393330953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
