{"product_id":"9780786729265","title":"The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit","description":"Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. Its title — like Catch-22 and Fahrenheit 451 — has become a part of America's cultural vocabulary. Tom Rath doesn't want anything extraordinary out of life: just a decent home, enough money to support his family, and a career that won't crush his spirit. After returning from World War II, he takes a PR job at a television network. It is inane, dehumanizing work. But when a series of personal crises force him to reexamine his priorities — and take responsibility for his past — he is finally moved to carve out an identity for himself. This is Sloan Wilson's searing indictment of a society that had just begun to lose touch with its citizens. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a classic of American literature and the basis of the award-winning film starring Gregory Peck. \"A consequential novel.\" — Saturday Review","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107987570928,"sku":"9780786729265","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786729265_p0.jpg?v=1769906609","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786729265","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
