The basis for Jean-Luc Godard's film \u003ci\u003eBand of Outsiders, Fools' Gold \u003c\/i\u003eis a swift and unadorned tale of three young people--two boys just released after being incarcerated for a juvenile offense, and an orphaned girl living in a house full of secrets--whose lives are rapidly torn apart by what starts as a simple plan of robbery. It echoes other classic American narratives of youth astray and on the run, and with its headlong pace catches the rhythm of adolescent crisis, as Hitchens's protagonists find themselves caught up in a situation spiraling beyond their control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Library of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598536348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Dolores Hitchens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661327102108,"sku":"9781598536348","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ffa37fb1-7282-4470-9347-164cf3ac2606.jpg?v=1603899184","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fools-gold-9781598536348","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
