{"product_id":"the-world-in-the-attic-wright-morris-9780803257290","title":"The World in the Attic","description":"\u003cp\u003eWright Morris's \"Nebraska Trilogy\" (1946-49) embodies his attempt to capture and come to terms with his past. According to David Madden, in his study \u003ci\u003eWright Morris\u003c\/i\u003e, \"In \u003ci\u003eThe Inhabitants\u003c\/i\u003e [a picture collection] the emphasis is on the artifacts inhabited and on the land; in \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e [narrative and pictures], on the inhabitants themselves; and in \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, on what the land and the people signify to one man, Clyde Muncy, writer and self-exiled Nebraskan. . . . What was only suggested to Muncy in \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e is further developed, although not entirely resolved, in \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e. . . . [In it], Morris achieves the kind of objective conceptualization that is characteristic of his best novels. The first half of the book is impressionistic, a series of reminiscences like \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e; but the second half has a novelist narrative line. In \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e, the past, saturated in the immediate present, is merely alluded to. In \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, however, the past is specifically and dramatically related to the present.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wright Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803257295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803257290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Wright Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926187737343,"sku":"9780803257290","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_487ad8e4-718b-4c8e-88aa-b52e370ad82a.jpg?v=1681081688","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-in-the-attic-wright-morris-9780803257290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
