{"product_id":"9780299283636","title":"The Green Suit: Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Dwight Allen’s acclaimed story collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Suit\u003c\/i\u003e, ends with a new story, rounding out a dozen interlinked tales about a well-to-do Kentucky family called the Sackriders. The stories cover a period of forty years, from the Vietnam War to the Age of Foreclosure. Chief among the Sackriders is Peter, son of a judge and a vitamin-pill-popping mother, brother to a sister whose troubles with boys take her far from Kentucky. He is a writer perhaps more in love with women (and, intermittently, men) than he is with words, whose eagerness to be loved leads him into alarming circumstances. He is a man with a yearning for transcendence and a penchant for betrayal.\u003cbr\u003e     The new story finds Sackrider in his mid-fifties, married for a second time, the father of a small child, and all tangled up with his next-door neighbor, an artist who likes to use the corpses of animals in his collages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125065564400,"sku":"9780299283636","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780299283636_p0.jpg?v=1763683211","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780299283636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
