With \u003ci\u003eShow World\u003c\/i\u003e, he offers a contemporary woman's story that will haunt its every reader. Samantha Flint, the figure at the book's center, flees the Midwest for Smith College to shake her past, to invent a future she can live with. There she meets the redoubtable Mimi Mohr; together and apart they move from New York City to D.C. to Los Angeles. Yet even as each new city takes them to fresh heights of power and wealth, everything Sam wants seems to elude her--and after a series of lapses, both desperate and careless, she finds her dreams have turned against her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work of wicked satire, acerbic humor, and unmatched imagination, \u003ci\u003eShow World\u003c\/i\u003e is Wilton Barnhardt's clear-eyed estimate of America and what we all want out of her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilton Barnhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250047889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250047885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Wilton Barnhardt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838286582015,"sku":"9781250047885","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7862fecc-01b2-4584-8a09-2df9e3ce5153.jpg?v=1746589362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/show-world-wilton-barnhardt-9781250047885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
