Along the way, he shows how each of these \"voyages out from himself\" has led him to the source of his beginnings as a writer. \u003ci\u003eThe Disappointment Artist\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of windows onto the collisions of art, landscape, and personal history that formed Lethem's richly imaginative, searingly honest perspective on life. A touching, deeply perceptive portrait of a writer in the making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Lethem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400076811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400076819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.36w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2006 pg. 24","brand":"Jonathan Lethem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056986648831,"sku":"9781400076819","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be405a5f-3743-40af-8016-d6e083d905f4.jpg?v=1685044378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-disappointment-artist-jonathan-lethem-9781400076819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
