{"product_id":"douglas-unger-leaving-the-land-9780803295605","title":"Leaving the Land","description":"Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award Winner, 1985 \"This fine first novel courts comparison with Willa Cather's . . . O Pioneers! But there is a big difference, since O Pioneers! . . . is about beginnings, while Leaving the Land is, sadly and disturbingly, about endings. It shows family farming giving way to corporate farming and agribusiness. . . . Marge (Hogan) has character, which is probably not inheritable. It is a rare commodity in modern novels.\"-New York Times Book Review. The reputation of Leaving the Land has grown steadily since its first publication in 1984. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Robert F. Kennedy Award and was an ALA Notable book in 1984. Douglas Unger, a professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is also the author of El Yanqui and The Turkey War, and, most recently, Voices from Silence: A Novel of Repression and Terror in Argentina.","brand":"Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53575483130198,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780803295605_1_9c2ba323-1d93-4cae-afa6-eaf9c0eafb96.jpg?v=1778468724","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/douglas-unger-leaving-the-land-9780803295605","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
