{"product_id":"flotsam-jetsam-9781564783165","title":"Flotsam \u0026 Jetsam","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered to be one of the best Irish writers of the twentieth century, Aidan Higgins has earned a reputation throughout Europe as an unusual and astringent prose stylist. This omnibus of selected short fiction is the perfect introduction to the talents of this Irish successor to James Joyce and Samuel Beckett (although Higgins's work is perhaps more reminiscent of his Welsh contemporary Dylan Thomas), and displays Higgins's warmth of language and character. From a melancholy tale of suicide in \"North Salt Holdings\" to a colorful depiction of J. J. Catchpole's escapades in \"Catchpole, \" Higgins builds his characters into touching failures who both attract and repulse the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564783165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.55w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2002 pg. 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/18\/2002 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 1092\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2002 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/2004 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aidan Higgins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40843288019125,"sku":"9781564783165","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a3e6b721-ca93-411b-9c66-6d355a8340a0.jpg?v=1629807743","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/flotsam-jetsam-9781564783165","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
