{"product_id":"glass-9781566892735","title":"Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsked by a publisher to write a preface to her late husband's novel, Edna defiantly sets out to write a separate book \"not just about Clarence but also about my life, as one could not pretend to understand Clarence without that.\" Simultaneously her neighbor asks her to care for an apartment full of plants and animals. The demands of the living things - a rat, fish, ferns - compete for Edna's attention with long-repressed memories. Day by day pages of seemingly random thoughts fall from her typewriter. Gradually taking shape within the mosaic of memory is the story of a remarkable marriage and of a mind pushed to its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs Edna's memoir a homage to her late husband or an act of belated revenge? Was she the cultured and hypersensitive victim of a crass and brutally ambitious husband, or was he the caretaker of a neurotic and delusional wife? The reader must decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unforgettable characters in Savage's two hit novels Firmin and The Cry of the Sloth garnered critical acclaim, selling a million copies worldwide. In Edna, once again Sam Savage has created a character marked by contradiction--simultaneously appealing and exasperating, comical and tragic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566892735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2011 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sam Savage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42095531688117,"sku":"9781566892735","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8ef4de69-7a1b-4823-98e5-2987ee13cdb2.jpg?v=1651587165","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/glass-9781566892735","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
