{"product_id":"west-of-rome-9780876856772","title":"West of Rome","description":"\u003cp\u003eWest of Rome's two novellas, My Dog Stupid and The Orgy, fulfill the promise of their rousing titles. The latter novella opens with virtuoso description: His name was Frank Gagliano, and he did not believe in God. He was that most singular and startling craftsman of the building trade-a left-handed bricklayer. Like my father, Frank came from Torcella Peligna, a cliff-hugging town in the Abruzzi. Lean as a spider, he wore a leather cap and puttees the year around, and he was so bowlegged a dog could lope between his knees without touching them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780876856772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.92w x 0.52d","brand":"John Fante","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645553307804,"sku":"9780876856772","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/west-of-rome-9780876856772","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
