{"product_id":"the-vig-peter-alson-9781734734126","title":"The Vig","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Alson is having an early mid-life crisis: he's a 33-year-old Harvard grad who has suddenly run out of prospects. He can't seem to finish that novel; he and his girlfriend, Anna, have decided to call it quits (again); and worse, he's flat broke. So when he meets Michael, another Ivy Leaguer who's making a killing as a bookie, he does what any enterprising guy would do: he enters a life of crime, joining a bookmaking operation headed up by characters like Monkey and Steak Knife, where his real education begins. If you combined Basketball Diaries and A Fan's Notes with a dash of Damon Runyon, the result would be something like this-hilarious and heartbreaking-a book that has rightfully taken its place among the classics of down-and-out literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Alson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1734734124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734734126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbitrary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"Peter Alson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982944370943,"sku":"9781734734126","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ce0a18c-8b83-4827-839c-7b388b0e21bb.jpg?v=1683263819","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vig-peter-alson-9781734734126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
