His narrative is not only a record of Whitman’s anecdotes and conversation on a wide variety of topics but also the opportunity to witness, as Traubel witnessed, a personal life. These entries offer a picture of Walt Whitman—with all his keen insights, day-to-day labors, and physical troubles—that is more complete and revealing than any of the numerous studies written on the man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021468713200,"sku":"9780809317578","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809317578_p0.jpg?v=1763739621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809317578","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
