{"product_id":"9780803242067","title":"Letters of Mari Sandoz","description":"\u003cp\u003eMari Sandoz came out of the Sandhills of Nebraska to write at least three enduring books: \u003ci\u003eOld Jules\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCheyenne Autumn\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCrazy Horse, the Strange Man of the Oglalas\u003c\/i\u003e. She was a tireless researcher, a true storyteller, an artist passionately dedicated to a place little known and a people largely misunderstood. Blasted by some critics, revered by others for her vivid detail and depth of feeling, Sandoz has achieved a secure place in American literature. Her letters, edited by Helen Winter Stauffer, reveal extraordinary courage and zest for life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded here are letters written by Sandoz over nearly forty years—from 1928, the year of her father's death and a critical one for her creative development, to 1966, the year of her own death. They allow memorable flimpses of the professional and private person: her struggles to learn her craft in spite of an unsupportive family and hard-won formal education, her experiences in gathering material, her relationships with editors and publishers, her work with fledgling writers, and her commitment to art and to various social concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNP - Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020225528048,"sku":"9780803242067","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803242067_p0.jpg?v=1763728173","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803242067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
