{"product_id":"the-useless-servants-rolando-hinojosa-9781558850682","title":"The Useless Servants","description":"In The Useless Servants, award-winning author Rolando Hinojosa captures the obscenity and pointlessness of war in the pages of a Korean War journal written by his fictional everyman, Rafe Buenrostro. Drawing from his own experiences, Hinojosa probes the mind of this Texas country boy who suddenly finds himself in an unknown country fighting in an undeclared war for an unknown reason. Meeting and befriending an unending stream of people who are gone as suddenly as they appear, Rafe alternately fears for his life and is bored to death. Dehumanized by the horrors that surround him, Rafe latches onto the one thing that offers hope for survival: his diary. He records his observations laconically and without emotion in a routine geared to survival and to becoming more effective in the performance of his grisly duty as an artilleryman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rolando Hinojosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558850686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558850682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arte Publico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.70w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1993 pg. 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/12\/1993","brand":"Rolando Hinojosa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069461721343,"sku":"9781558850682","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8952ebb8-a1ff-48e1-ad90-a6c3aec5f2df.jpg?v=1685424843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-useless-servants-rolando-hinojosa-9781558850682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
