{"product_id":"joseph-scapellato-big-lonesome-9780544769809","title":"Big Lonesome","description":"An inventive, ranging debut story collection from a writer hailed by Claire Vaye Watkins as \"Wallace Stegner on peyote, Nathanael West in a sweat lodge, Larry McMurtry on a vision quest.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReinventing a great American tradition through an absurdist, discerning eye, Joseph Scapellato uses these twenty-five stories to conjure worlds, themes, and characters who are at once unquestionably familiar and undeniably strange. Big Lonesome navigates through the American West--from the Old West to the modern-day West to the Midwest, from cowboys to mythical creatures to everything in between--exploring place, myth, masculinity, and what it means to be whole or to be broken. Though he works in the tradition of George Saunders and Patrick deWitt--writing subversive, surreal, and affecting stories that unveil the surprising inner lives of ordinary people and the mythic dimensions of our everyday lives--\"Scapellato's Big Lonesome is unlike anything else you've ever read\" (Robert Boswell).","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53570691137878,"sku":"9780544769809-G","price":1.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780544769809_1_1b9d0072-a372-4b25-8fe5-ed0e28027b20.jpg?v=1779876008","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/joseph-scapellato-big-lonesome-9780544769809","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
