{"product_id":"white-collar-giacomo-patri-9780486805917","title":"White Collar: A Novel in Linocuts","description":"The struggles and injustices faced by workers during the Great Depression spring to graphic life in this powerful wordless novel, which traces a middle-class family's downward spiral. Recounted in 128 striking black-and-white linocuts by artist Giacomo Patri, the story takes place between 1929 and 1933, from just before the stock market crash to the devastating years immediately afterward. The protagonist, an earnest young man with a promising career in advertising, descends into unemployment, debt, and homelessness. Desperate to provide for his family, he discovers common ground with blue-collar workers and the benefits of union organizing. \u003cbr\u003eBecause of its controversial depictions of class struggle, unionization, and abortion, \u003ci\u003eWhite Collar\u003c\/i\u003e was shunned by publishers, and the author was forced to print his own editions. Early copies are extremely rare; this Dover edition marks the volume's first return to print in decades, and its very first appearance in hardcover. \u003cbr\u003eSuggested for mature readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giacomo Patri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486805913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486805917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Giacomo Patri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980979601663,"sku":"9780486805917","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48ddcb5b-0742-4b05-913d-cf1b8f68f0b3.jpg?v=1683253002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-collar-giacomo-patri-9780486805917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
