{"product_id":"the-evolution-of-bruno-littlemore-benjamin-hale-9780446571586","title":"The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore","description":"Bruno Littlemore is quite unlike any chimpanzee in the world. Precocious, self-conscious and preternaturally gifted, young Bruno, born and raised in a habitat at the local zoo, falls under the care of a university primatologist named Lydia Littlemore. Learning of Bruno's ability to speak, Lydia takes Bruno into her home to oversee his education and nurture his passion for painting. But for all of his gifts, the chimpanzee has a rough time caging his more primal urges. His untimely outbursts ultimately cost Lydia her job, and send the unlikely pair on the road in what proves to be one of the most unforgettable journeys -- and most affecting love stories -- in recent literature. Like its protagonist, this novel is big, loud, abrasive, witty, perverse, earnest and amazingly accomplished. \u003ci\u003eThe Evolution of Bruno Littlemore\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond satire by showing us not what it means, but what it feels like be human -- to love and lose, learn, aspire, grasp, and, in the end, to fail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Hale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 044657158X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780446571586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.27w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bard Fiction Prize - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/04\/2012 pg. 24","brand":"Benjamin Hale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919776055551,"sku":"9780446571586","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_35ee173f-fef3-4581-88ac-84f3ef248af2.jpg?v=1680811841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-evolution-of-bruno-littlemore-benjamin-hale-9780446571586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
