{"product_id":"9780979723858","title":"Feathers Like Leather","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of troubador\/flaneur Chris Leo's claims to fame is that he holds the highest score on the rigorous New York City Tour Guide Exam. He's done a lot of walking in his days. Over the past decade, dividing his time between Manhattan and Cupra Marittima, Italy, the walking has amounted to a gamut of lyric texts reflecting his follies and diversions along the way in an apropos hodgepodge of formats. From his novels \u003ci\u003eWhite Pigeons\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e57 Octaves\u003c\/i\u003e, which come with accompanying music and drawings, to his polylingual children's book \u003ci\u003eCoomoococklemungmung\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Buenos Aires-based artist Francesca Massai, to albums with his word-burdened bands The Van Pelt, The Lapse and Vague Angels, the delivery is always the same: cat's paw on a very big mouse. Leo's fourth book, \u003ci\u003eFeathers Like Leather\u003c\/i\u003e, is a collection of short stories, poems and etymologies, each a raw and urgent account of his life abroad—even in his own hometown. From obsessive language dissection to personal sexual questionings, Leo lends a relentless charm to his writing that emanates from the page as if it's being sung.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heartworm Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016877981936,"sku":"9780979723858","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780979723858_p0.jpg?v=1763882594","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780979723858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
