{"product_id":"dixie-luck-9780881466515","title":"Dixie Luck","description":"DIXIE LUCK features stories about hardy gamblers, look-on-the-bright-side salesmen, and other brands of optimistic Southerners. The stories are set in locales from Hot Springs, Arkansas, to the Atlantic Coast; each city or town seems to hold its own version of good fortune. The collection also includes the Faulkner Award-winning novella TERMINAL, a tale that finds a husband and wife reuniting in hopes of finding one final cash-out at the windows. The stories are literary--they study characters who try to stay honest and upbeat in the face of stacked odds. In \"Valdosta,\" a salesman tries to look at the bright side of a product promotion that deals with disaster preparation. \"Confetti\" is a story about a gambler who cannot find the right words to say to a woman he loves; he takes a good day at the racetrack as a sign he is heading in the right direction with her. In another story, \"Resort Life,\" the narrator escapes his troubled family life by focusing on his work as a hotel manager.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercer University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881466515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Andy Plattner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715397218485,"sku":"9780881466515","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dixie-luck-9780881466515","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
