{"product_id":"9780786885053","title":"Pure Drivel","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Martin's talent has always defied definition: a seasoned actor, a razor-sharp screenwriter, an acclaimed playwright, and, of course, the ingenious comedian who turned King Tut into a national craze. In this widely praised collection of humourous riffs, Martin shows he is also a master of the written word. From a wildly imaginative meditation on who Lolita would be at age fifty to a send-up of the warning labels on medicine bottles, these pieces, many of which first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, hilariously and intelligently skewer the topic at hand. \u003ci\u003ePure Drivel\u003c\/i\u003e will have readers crying with laughter—and marveling that in addition to all of his many talents, Steve Martin is also a superb writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48187179761904,"sku":"9780786885053","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786885053_p0.jpg?v=1763661468","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786885053","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
