{"product_id":"mr-bridge-a-novel","title":"Mr. Bridge: A Novel","description":"The classic novel about a repressed upper-middle-class husband in the American Midwest, by a New York Times bestselling and Man Booker Prize winning author\nWalter Bridge is an ambitious Kansas City lawyer who redoubles his efforts and time at the office whenever he senses that his family needs something--even when what they need is more of him and less of his money. Affluence, material assets, and comforts create a cocoon of respectability that cloaks the void within--not the skeleton in the closet but a black hole swallowing the whole household.\nTimeless in its examination of love and marriage and the universal need for connection, this new edition of Mr. Bridge reminds readers of Connell's pivotal place in the American canon.\n\"A small masterpiece.\" --Joyce Carol Oates\n\"Mr. and Mrs. Bridge are forever human, forever vulnerable, forever pitiable. In spare, whimsical, ironic prose, Connell exposes each and every one of their wrinkles and then, in the end, offers them to us as human beings to be cherished.\" --The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1593760604\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1593760604.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Connell, Evan S\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
