{"product_id":"9780679741930","title":"The Wild Palms (aka If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this feverishly beautiful novel—originally titled \u003ci\u003eIf I Forget Thee, Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e—William Faulkner interweaves two narratives, each wholly absorbing in its own right, each subtly illuminating the other. In New Orleans in 1937, a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion, fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation, survival and self-sacrifice, a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed with fatal injuries of the spirit. \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Palms\u003c\/i\u003e is grandly inventive, heart-stopping in its prose, and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017667690736,"sku":"9780679741930","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679741930_p0.jpg?v=1763606955","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679741930","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
