{"product_id":"the-rooster-trapped-in-the-barry-gifford-9781583225257","title":"The Rooster Trapped in the Reptile Room: A Barry Gifford Reader","description":"\"Everything I have to say about race and religion and politics is in the novels,\" declares Barry Gifford. The Rooster Trapped in the Reptile Room gathers generous portions of all thirteen novels and novellas, as well as first-person essays, generous helpings of poetry, journalism, and a new interview with the author. The broad contours of an episodic output emerge--a full-length view of the freaks and freakish incidents that populate Gifford's unique human comedy. A world, as Lula, the author's favorite of all his characters, reflects, \"wild at heart and weird on top.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Rooster Trapped in the Reptile Room provides essential reading for anyone after the soul of American writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Gifford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583225250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583225257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.00w x 1.03d","brand":"Barry Gifford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489291981055,"sku":"9781583225257","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9e066b7-f74e-423e-a93d-e620bdeca98f.jpg?v=1736953118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rooster-trapped-in-the-barry-gifford-9781583225257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
