In slangy, error-littered letters signed \"Pal Joey\", he recounts his exploits with brash nightclub managers, shady business partners, and every pretty girl (\"mouse\") he meets. Charismatic yet conniving, Pal Joey is a smooth operator whose bravado and big ideas disguise a far less self-assured soul caught up in the rags-to-riches dream of the Jazz Age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally serialized in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the inspiration for the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical of the same name and the 1957 film starring Frank Sinatra, Kim Novak, and Rita Hayworth, \u003ci\u003ePal Joey\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a true \"heel\", as complex and memorable as any antihero in American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115761647856,"sku":"2940170845019","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170845019_p0.jpg?v=1763719522","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170845019","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
