{"product_id":"9780547790473","title":"Novel","description":"Set in the town of Gruel, South Carolina, this first novel by George Singleton, master of the comic short story, is the tale of a young man named Novel (his brother's name is James; his sister's is Joyce), a professional snake handler who stumbles across strange doings while he sits in a motel room writing his autobiography. As he struggles to recount his life story, he uncovers-and finds himself starring in-a decades-old town secret, one that can blow him and his fellow citizens sky-high. Funny as only George Singleton can be, full of Southern mischief and wit, Novel is a crazed and crazy fictional whirlwind of drinking, motel-living, art-forgery-committing, pool-playing redneck charm.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107142090992,"sku":"9780547790473","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780547790473_p0.jpg?v=1763715536","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780547790473","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
