{"product_id":"novel-isbn-9780156030915","title":"Novel","description":"Set in the town of Gruel, South Carolina, this first novel by George Singleton, master of the comic short story, is the tale of a young man named Novel (his brother's name is James; his sister's is Joyce), a professional snake handler who stumbles across strange doings while he sits in a motel room writing his autobiography. As he struggles to recount his life story, he uncovers-and finds himself starring in-a decades-old town secret, one that can blow him and his fellow citizens sky-high. Funny as only George Singleton can be, full of Southern mischief and wit, Novel is a crazed and crazy fictional whirlwind of drinking, motel-living, art-forgery-committing, pool-playing redneck charm.\u003cbr\u003e | \u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR THE HALF-MAMMALS OF DIXIE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Singleton's relentlessly offbeat stories are a miasma of flea markets, palm readers, bowling alleys, and alligators, offering a disturb-ingly askew-at times, downright surreal-vision of the South.\" -ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY \u003cbr\u003e\"Sly, intelligent, hilarious.\"-THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER ","brand":"Harper Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44889873711333,"sku":"NP9780156030915","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780156030915.jpg?v=1730232089","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/novel-isbn-9780156030915","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
