{"product_id":"the-tenants-of-moonbloom-9781590170700","title":"The Tenants of Moonbloom","description":"Norman Moonbloom is a loser, a drop-out who can't even make it as a deadbeat. His brother, a slumlord, hires him to collect rent in the buildings he owns in Manhattan. Making his rounds from apartment to apartment, Moonbloom confronts a wildly varied assortment of brilliantly described urban characters, among them a gay jazz musician with a sideline as a gigolo, a Holocaust survivor, and a brilliant young black writer modeled on James Baldwin. Moonbloom hears their cries of outrage and abuse; he learns about their secret sorrows and desires. And as he grows familiar with their stories, he finds that he is drawn, in spite of his best judgment, into a desperate attempt to improve their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdward Lewis Wallant's astonishing comic tour de force is a neglected masterpiece of 1960s America.\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 11\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590170700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.04w x 0.60d","brand":"Edward Lewis Wallant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067700248757,"sku":"9781590170700","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cdfeedfd-f1a3-489f-ad86-fc796c620ed3.jpg?v=1690863418","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-tenants-of-moonbloom-9781590170700","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
