{"product_id":"the-cattle-killing-john-edgar-wideman-9780395877500","title":"The Cattle Killing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn plague-ridden eighteenth-century Philadelphia, a young itinerant black preacher searches for a mysterious, endangered African woman. His struggle to find her and save them both plummets them both into the nightmare of a society violently splitting itself into white and black. Spiraling outward from the core image of a cattle killing--the Xhosa people's ritual destruction of their herd in a vain attempt to resist European domination--the novel expands its narrator's search for meaning and love into the America, Europe and South Africa of yesterday and today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Edgar Wideman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0395877504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780395877500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston Book Review - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/04\/1998 pg. 24","brand":"John Edgar Wideman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046974419199,"sku":"9780395877500","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43b5aeff-974d-446f-b1e7-4b47b0ed5acd.jpg?v=1684987562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cattle-killing-john-edgar-wideman-9780395877500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
