{"product_id":"2940046033915","title":"The Orange \u0026 Blue Drive-In","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn March of 1967 a young man named Timmy leaves home at the age of fifteen to make room for the arrival of his sister’s baby. His journey takes him just a few blocks down the street, but his life changes dramatically. He goes to work for a man named Morgan, the new owner of the Orange \u0026amp; Blue Drive-In, and he meets Penney, Morgan’s thirty-year-old daughter. Rundi, a Muslim immigrant from India rents him a small room in the back of his antique store. Timmy’s childhood and friends cling to him, but a different world pulls him forward into new relationships, relationships that have startling consequences. Everything happens against the background of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, the release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, riots in Detroit, the poverty of Timmy’s east Gainesville neighborhood, and a rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The Orange \u0026amp; Blue Drive-In touches on a lot of big issues—class and coming of age and small town America in the 60s—with care and sophistication. It is beautifully written with a strong yet quiet line.” —Juliana Spahr, winner of the Hardison Poetry Prize, and author of eight volumes of poetry, including: Response (Sun \u0026amp; Moon Press, 1996), Fuck You-Aloha-I Love You (Wesleyan University Press, 2001), and Well Then There Now (Black Sparrow Press, 2011)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeff Munnis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078424576240,"sku":"2940046033915","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046033915_p0.jpg?v=1763688339","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046033915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
