{"product_id":"island-people-9781564780935","title":"Island People","description":"In this complex novel, a gay man who has fled the violence of the city for an island retreat spends his time keeping a journal and writing stories. He invents a female alter-ego who haunts him, as does the ghost of the murderer who occupied his house in the 19th century; ultimately these hauntings are manifestations of his own psychic disintegration. Considered by many to be Dowell's finest achievement, Island People conveys the fragmentation that results from prolonged isolation.\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 06\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564780935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.53w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1996 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Coleman Dowell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38606799372469,"sku":"9781564780935","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4f8ca16a-4edf-439e-8698-cf9eb7bb622e.jpg?v=1614086455","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/island-people-9781564780935","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
