{"product_id":"9780803257290","title":"The World in the Attic","description":"\u003cp\u003eWright Morris's \"Nebraska Trilogy\" (1946-49) embodies his attempt to capture and come to terms with his past. According to David Madden, in his study \u003ci\u003eWright Morris\u003c\/i\u003e, \"In \u003ci\u003eThe Inhabitants\u003c\/i\u003e [a picture collection] the emphasis is on the artifacts inhabited and on the land; in \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e [narrative and pictures], on the inhabitants themselves; and in \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, on what the land and the people signify to one man, Clyde Muncy, writer and self-exiled Nebraskan. . . . What was only suggested to Muncy in \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e is further developed, although not entirely resolved, in \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e. . . . [In it], Morris achieves the kind of objective conceptualization that is characteristic of his best novels. The first half of the book is impressionistic, a series of reminiscences like \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e; but the second half has a novelist narrative line. In \u003ci\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/i\u003e, the past, saturated in the immediate present, is merely alluded to. In \u003ci\u003eThe World in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, however, the past is specifically and dramatically related to the present.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNP - Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030740680944,"sku":"9780803257290","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803257290_p0.jpg?v=1763725132","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803257290","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
