{"product_id":"2940158613258","title":"Sleeping with Jack Kerouac","description":"Scotty Dorian has grown up and lived in a rarefied world of books--a heady cocktail of famous authors and their mad, drunken pursuit in the name of their art--a life of literary and moneyed privilege. She owns regal homes in Manhattan and East Hampton and one half of a great publishing concern. Scotty is beautiful and accomplished, seeming to have it all--so why would she need to murder her literary agent husband? And how on earth did Jack Kerouac, the King of the Beats and dead since 1969, become her accomplice?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the start we know that Scotty's husband has met a grisly end. She pleads her innocence and tells us he was a narcissist and a sociopath--a danger to her life--are we to believe her? So begins the twisty ride of SLEEPING WITH JACK KEROUAC, as Scotty Dorian begins to come to terms with buried parts of herself, those things that have been in her always but which are only now finally stirred to life. The novel's heart pumps with the blood of sexual identity, the knowledge that the hidden voices inside of ourselves often entwine with the voices found inside of our best novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSLEEPING WITH JACK KEROUAC is its own martini shaker, two parts literary thriller, one part memoir and a couple of dashes of rollicking romp. This is a novel that could only have been written by a literary insider, an author who grew up in his own world of books and the broken, funny, charismatic people who actually write them.","brand":"Sean McGrady","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076758028528,"sku":"2940158613258","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158613258_p0.jpg?v=1764117729","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158613258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
