{"product_id":"maladies-of-the-soul-james-swearingen-9781737337669","title":"Maladies of the Soul","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn The Valmont, a posh condo development in New Orleans, once an Ursuline convent, seven residents-a real estate developer, a Russian ballerina, a legal secretary, a TV personality, a US Attorney, a French professor, and a Jesuit priest embody the classical vices. Their intertwined lives pass through bedroom and theatre, carnival and courtroom, exorcism and suicide, as the narrator studies the infirmities of modern life with an eye to a cure. Meanwhile, the inexistent voice of angel or spirit or daimon haunts the Valmont, finding the moral diagnosis itself curiously symptomatic of the current state of the human soul. Maladies is a philosophical novel for readers with lively minds, keen on hope in dark times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Swearingen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737337665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737337669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Swearingen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d","brand":"James Swearingen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365143867647,"sku":"9781737337669","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cc34c2d-bfde-49a5-bec5-6f3581c3d213.jpg?v=1697056869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maladies-of-the-soul-james-swearingen-9781737337669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
