Through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father, Thomas Mann and his children, Jane Austen and her aunts, and Tennessee Williams and his sister, Tb匤 examines a world of relations, richly comic or savage in their implications. Acutely perceptive and imbued with rare tenderness and wit, New Ways to Kill Your Mother is a fascinating look at writers' most influential bonds and a secret key to understanding and enjoying their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colm Toibin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451668562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451668568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.50w x 0.89d","brand":"Colm Toibin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992017043711,"sku":"9781451668568","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_807b8fd2-03e5-405e-9d8a-f7a40953977e.jpg?v=1683313564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-ways-to-kill-your-colm-toibin-9781451668568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
