{"product_id":"9780786723690","title":"Lessons For Dylan: On Life, Love, the Movies, and Me","description":"At the age of fifty-seven, movie critic Joel Siegel both became a father for the first time and learned that he had cancer. In \u003ci\u003eLessons for Dylan\u003c\/i\u003e, Siegel shares all the things he wants his son to know—in case he's not around to tell him. It's a story about a life well-lived and about living life well. It's chock-full of earnest advice, hilarious anecdotes, a Yiddish lexicon, and recollections of everyone from Brad Pitt to the Beatles. Siegel lays out the History of the Jewish People in Four Jokes; offers Dylan manly advice on sex (\"ask your mother\"), culinary arts, the movies; and of course, offers a few lectures (\"Be anything you want to be, but, please God, please don't want to be an actor\"). Along the way, Joel teaches Dylan, and readers, a little something about growing up at any age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At times heart-wrenching, at times laugh-out-loud funny, Joel Siegel has crafted an indelible and enduring love letter to his son, and a literary gift to us all.","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128049680624,"sku":"9780786723690","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786723690_p0.jpg?v=1763663980","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786723690","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
