He infiltrates the gilded life of a superstar actor\/sex symbol\/practicing Buddhist, the compromised world of a young actress whose big break comes when she's hired to play a corpse on \u003ci\u003eSix Feet Under,\u003c\/i\u003e and the strange parallel universe of look-alikes — an entire industry in which struggling actors are hired out for parties and conventions to play their famous counterparts. Alternately hilarious and heartfelt, ferocious and empathetic, \u003ci\u003eStill Holding\u003c\/i\u003e is Bruce Wagner's most expertly calibrated work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020113428720,"sku":"9780743243384","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743243384_p0.jpg?v=1763631548","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743243384","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
