The lives and futures of Kerouac, Sinatra, Elvis, and the Kennedys will all be touched by him -- yet perhaps none so deeply as the fragile sex goddess who will always be his greatest burden and true soul mate, a dazzling and tragically lost phenomenon named Marilyn -- as he moves toward an astonishing destiny that will reconfigure the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIngeniously blending historical fact with brilliant invention, \u003cem\u003eThe Rebel\u003c\/em\u003e is a hip, fast, and mesmerizing ride through the fifties and sixties -- an unforgettable road trip across a nation with an American legend at the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060751777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.34w x 1.01d","brand":"Jack Dann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181244936373,"sku":"9780060751777","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d0d360ab-8277-4ed8-a967-91450bba546b.jpg?v=1768922311","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-rebel-9780060751777","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
