{"product_id":"the-order-of-the-loko-todd-morehead-9781461185451","title":"The Order of the Loko: Dispatches from the New South, Selected Nonfiction Vol. 1","description":"While working for a rowdy weekly newspaper with ambitions larger than its budget, Todd Morehead captured stories that run the gamut from outlandish to truly bizarre. Featuring a cast of unconventional-and very real-characters, Morehead covers everything from nanotech and the nuclear industry to elderly mall walkers and Christian secessionists. He recounts a boat trip gone awry while searching for a monkey-inhabited island off the Beaufort, South Carolina coast, takes a morbid stroll with a psychedelic drug enthusiast who \"adopted\" a local graveyard, and meets a man who cashed in his lotto millions to start a bikini wrestling show. From urban bass fishing to hanging with Al-Jazeera in a bar to the Machiavellian underbelly of a nudist colony's annual chili cook off, The Order of the Loko is a compelling dispatch from one of the most off-kilter voices to emerge from the Southeast in years. *Also features a section of previously unpublished \"quasi-fiction\" and a new introduction from the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Todd Morehead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461185459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461185451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.52d","brand":"Todd Morehead","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436625735935,"sku":"9781461185451","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdea2658-a67d-4025-a03c-57338108c115.jpg?v=1777157162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-order-of-the-loko-todd-morehead-9781461185451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
