{"product_id":"the-way-the-world-works-nicholson-baker-9781416572480","title":"The Way the World Works","description":"New York Times bestselling author Nicholson Baker has assembled a \"provocative and entertaining\" (The Wall Street Journal) collection of his most original and brilliant pieces from the last fifteen years.From political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, and the manufacture of the Venetian gondola, Nicholson Baker ranges over the map of life to examine what troubles us, what eases our pain, and what brings us joy. The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholson Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1416572481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416572480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.06w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2013 pg. 30","brand":"Nicholson Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925547516159,"sku":"9781416572480","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2fdf7da2-9591-4dbb-9ddc-419686558e06.jpg?v=1681077920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-way-the-world-works-nicholson-baker-9781416572480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
