{"product_id":"the-lake-walker-9781642045383","title":"The Lake Walker","description":"\u003cp\u003eA little novel set in black and white like one of those old European movies about death and life. This book stars Rudolph and his opposite Simone who circle a small lake, observing the blue glows that wander the woods, the shores and the waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack in high school I would go to the Neptune Theatre every week. Driving the floating bridge over Lake Washington or going Lake City Way, looking for parking, sometimes under a leafy tree, sometimes on the slant by the IHOP. The Neptune had a green neon sign that floated out front. Inside, you bought your ticket from a boat shaped counter and then you could go up to the balcony. That's where I met Fellini, Bergman, Cocteau, and I wanted this adventure to be an homage to them, a sort of European black and white movie book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis idea began during a hellish summer when forest fires turned our air into a white smog and the sun was dim as an orange penny. A Martian world, it was hard to even breathe out there. But by September it started to clear and I began to take walks around the lake. I still had a couple weeks away from my office job and I liked to think this would be my morning routine when I finally retire. I would begin every day with a walk around the lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Good Deed Rain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642045383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Allen Frost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209996759221,"sku":"9781642045383","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_788f61bd-fd20-4bb4-a364-8c8ac110e6e6.jpg?v=1770131969","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lake-walker-9781642045383","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
