{"product_id":"normal-people-dont-live-like-dylan-landis-9780892553549","title":"Normal People Don't Live Like This","description":"At the center of this startling fiction debut is Leah Levinson, a teen at sea in the anonymous ordeals of a middle-class upbringing on the Upper West Side in the 1970s. In ten installments, written from varying perspectives, we witness her uneasy relationships with faster, looser peers--girls she is drawn to but also alienated by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No one, though, alienates Leah more than her mother, Helen. Estranged yet intertwined, they struggle within the confines of their personalities, unaware of how similar their paths are. Just when they seem at a lonely impasse, each makes an impulsive change--Leah taking a risky trip abroad, Helen renting a secret room in a welfare hotel. Jolted from their old patterns, the two of them independently glimpse the possibility of a more hopeful life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dylan Landis is a gifted portraitist of unforgettable female characters. \u003cem\u003eNormal People Don't Live Like This\u003c\/em\u003e is a striking debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan Landis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892553545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892553549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Persea Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.16h x 5.42w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009 pg. 30","brand":"Dylan Landis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453430116607,"sku":"9780892553549","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61ef673e-8f65-474d-b8e6-f4eb8e706e5f.jpg?v=1777300177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/normal-people-dont-live-like-dylan-landis-9780892553549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
