{"product_id":"take-the-cannoli-sarah-vowell-9780743205405","title":"Take the Cannoli: Stories from the New World","description":"A wickedly funny collection of personal essays from popular NPR personality Sarah Vowell.Hailed by Newsweek as a \"cranky stylist with talent to burn,\" Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life. While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears. Take the Cannoli is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Vowell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743205405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743205405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.62w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/23\/2001 pg. 111","brand":"Sarah Vowell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047284240639,"sku":"9780743205405","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_328782f2-e09f-441b-9512-0c1142463984.jpg?v=1684989323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/take-the-cannoli-sarah-vowell-9780743205405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
