{"product_id":"9780375714696","title":"Ice Haven","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAt long last, the paperback version of Daniel Clowes’s bril­liant graphic novel, hailed by Time as “another of his hilari­ously slightly off-center worlds that have a vague sense of dread about them. Kind of like where you live.” \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWelcome to Ice Haven! “It’s not as cold here as it sounds,” declares Random Wilder, our reluctant guide to this sleepy Midwestern town. He’s also its would-be poet laureate. Would-be, that is, were it not for the “florid banalities” of his archrival, Ida Wentz, pub­lished ad nauseam in the \u003ci\u003eIce Haven Daily Progress\u003c\/i\u003e. Among Wilder’s other fellow Ice Havians are the love­lorn Violet Vanderplazt and Vida Wentz; the adorable interracial moppets Carmichael and Paula; the Blue Bunny, newly sprung from prison and the bitterest rabbit in town; and poor little David Goldberg, miss­ing for more than a week now. . . . \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe lives of the men and women of \u003ci\u003eIce Haven\u003c\/i\u003e are woven into a multilayered tale that, while it owes a debt to \u003ci\u003eOur Town\u003c\/i\u003e, is ultimately based on and inspired by . . . Leopold and Loeb. No kidding. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOnly Daniel Clowes could do it and, luckily for us, he has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012998545648,"sku":"9780375714696","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780375714696_p0.jpg?v=1763692561","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780375714696","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
