{"product_id":"2940045716451","title":"Hunger in America","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"This compact yet digressive first novel addresses a popular theme: the adult child's quest for an unknown father. Troubled by the mystery surrounding his father, a boxer, World War II POW, and ice storm victim, Jack Dempsey Cliff leaves his fiancee and Wisconsin home for Kodiak, where he drives a cab and sleeps in a tent, speaking in monosyllables but observing much. During one long Memorial Day night, brief encounters provide Jack with strong associations and desires. He listens to a troubled woman cab driver, a young drifter who knew his father, and an elusive Indian woman with a gun, making their stories his. At night's end, Jack and his acquaintances gather for an unexpectedly abrupt and violent denouement (to both characters and readers).\"\u003cbr\u003e- Janet Ingraham, Worthington P.L., Ohio\u003cbr\u003eCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Allan Cates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075100131568,"sku":"2940045716451","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045716451_p0.jpg?v=1763690389","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045716451","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
