{"product_id":"9780692266168","title":"Green Bike: a group novel","description":"\u003ci\u003eGreen Bike\u003c\/i\u003e follows the lives of three couples, using the McGuffin, or shared symbol, of a classic Schwinn bike to link parallel tales. Following these tenuously linked tales, \u003ci\u003eGreen Bike\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a muted romance, a graduate school bedroom romp, and a love letter to a dying mother.\u003cp\u003e\"Green Bike reads like jazz improvisational solos: each author works the narrative threads, making them distinct yet seamlessly interwoven to create a layered novel. Like the classic Schwinn of the title, this book will lead you on a wonderful adventure,\" says Hardy Jones, author of \u003ci\u003eEvery Bitter Thing\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRabas calls the novel \"a wild campus romp.\" He said, \"It's at once a love story, a love triangle, a kunstlerroman (artist's way novel), coming of age tale, wild college days tale, and tale about losing an aging loved one. How can it be all of these things? Because it's a novel of parallel tales. We're not just in one narrative. We're in three.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meadowlark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50090052518128,"sku":"9780692266168","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692266168","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
