{"product_id":"memories-of-my-father-watching-curtis-white-9781564781895","title":"Memories of My Father Watching TV","description":"\"Memories of My Father Watching TV\" has as its protagonists television shows, around which the personalities of family members are shaped. The shows have a life of their own and become the arena of shared experience. And in Curtis White's hands, they become a son's projections of what he wants for himself and his father through characters in \"Combat, \" \"Highway Patrol, \" \"Bonanza, \" and other television shows (and one movie) from the 1950s and '60s. Comic in many ways, \"Memories\" is finally a sad lament of father-son relationship that is painful and tortured, displayed against a background of what they most shared, the watching of television, the universal American experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curtis White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564781895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564781895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/1998 pg. 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1998 pg. 1597\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1998 pg. 687\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1998 pg. 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/1998 pg. 17","brand":"Curtis White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985147429119,"sku":"9781564781895","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5ae1f98-2877-495c-a0e6-23875ebaf1c5.jpg?v=1683275828","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memories-of-my-father-watching-curtis-white-9781564781895","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
