{"product_id":"the-man-in-the-gray-flannel-suit-9781568582467","title":"The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit","description":"Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. Its title -- like Catch-22 and Fahrenheit 451 -- has become a part of America's cultural vocabulary. Tom Rath doesn't want anything extraordinary out of life: just a decent home, enough money to support his family, and a career that won't crush his spirit. After returning from World War II, he takes a PR job at a television network. It is inane, dehumanizing work. But when a series of personal crises force him to reexamine his priorities -- and take responsibility for his past -- he is finally moved to carve out an identity for himself. This is Sloan Wilson's searing indictment of a society that had just begun to lose touch with its citizens. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a classic of American literature and the basis of the award-winning film starring Gregory Peck. \"A consequential novel.\" -- \u003ci\u003eSaturday Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568582467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.50h x 8.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2002 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sloan Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403417940149,"sku":"9781568582467","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_40056160-d916-48a1-bf42-92870a38f133.jpg?v=1774969168","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-man-in-the-gray-flannel-suit-9781568582467","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
