{"product_id":"flying-home-and-other-stories-9780679776611","title":"Flying Home: And Other Stories","description":"Written between 1937 and 1954 and now available in paperback for the first time, these thirteen stories are a potent distillation of the genius of Ralph Ellison. Six of them remained unpublished during Ellison's lifetime and were discovered among the author's effects in a folder labeled \"Early Stories.\" But they all bear the hallmarks--the thematic reach, musically layered voices, and sheer ebullience--that Ellison would bring to his classic \u003cb\u003eInvisible Man\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe tales in \u003cb\u003eFlying Home\u003c\/b\u003e range in setting from the Jim Crow South to a Harlem bingo parlor, from the hobo jungles of the Great Depression to Wales during the Second World War. By turns lyrical, scathing, touching, and transcendently wise, \u003cb\u003eFlying Home and Other Stories\u003c\/b\u003e is a historic volume, an extravagant last bequest from a giant of our literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679776611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.19w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1998 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e74964 \/ Flying Home and Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ralph Ellison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124391739573,"sku":"9780679776611","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_82799f16-2c2f-4007-8d69-9960bd15fad8.jpg?v=1694551120","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/flying-home-and-other-stories-9780679776611","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
