{"product_id":"mr-phillips-john-lanchester-9780140298369","title":"Mr. Phillips","description":"Mr. Phillips wakes on a summer's Monday morning in his modest, nearly mortgage-free house, ready to face another ordinary working day. Except this day is far from ordinary, for on the previous Friday, Mr. Phillips was summarily sacked. Unable to deal with this disaster--unable even to tell his own wife--Mr. Phillips rises at his usual hour and prepares himself for the job he no longer has. As he wanders the streets of London, what he sees triggers memories. Gradually a picture develops of a decent man who, only days before, knew exactly who and what he was--husband, home-owner, father, valued employee--and on this day wonders who and what he can become.\u003cp\u003eUsing the bits and pieces of one man's past, \u003cb\u003eJohn Lanchester\u003c\/b\u003e has drawn a fully dimensional life and, in the process, made in \u003cb\u003eMr. Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e an Everyman for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Lanchester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140298363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140298369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.74h x 5.09w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2001 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2001 pg. 28","brand":"John Lanchester","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913376104703,"sku":"9780140298369","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5f0e9355-324e-4aa7-a1a0-f8a018719ab9.jpg?v=1680618305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mr-phillips-john-lanchester-9780140298369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
