{"product_id":"on-the-yard-9780940322967","title":"On the Yard","description":"A major American novel, and arguably the finest work of literature ever to emerge from a US prison, On the Yard is a book of penetrating psychological realism in which Malcolm Braly paints an unforgettable picture of the complex and frightening world of the penitentiary. At its center are the violently intertwined stories of Chilly Willy, in trouble with the law from his earliest years and now the head of the prison's flourishing black market in drugs and sex, and of Paul, wracked with guilt for the murder of his wife and desperate for some kind of redemption. At once brutal and tender, clear-eyed and rueful, On the Yard presents the penitentiary not as an exotic location, an exception to everyday reality, but as an ordinary place, one every reader will recognize, American to the core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780940322967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.04w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2002 pg. 273\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2002\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Malcolm Braly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44524513820853,"sku":"9780940322967","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8a7bf7c6-5528-4ee6-8b0f-5dceb74e8825.jpg?v=1722919803","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/on-the-yard-9780940322967","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
