{"product_id":"9780988230002","title":"Lunatic Heroes: Memories, Lies and Reflections","description":"Dark, comic, raw, disturbing, and often redemptive, these fifteen tales will take you from the 1950s to the present, along with a repeating cast of heroes and lunatics. The characters span the breadth and the depths of human qualities and capacities. The same person, in one story, may materialize as a hero and a god, and in another, as a lunatic and a demon. While the author roughs up the people in his stories with the hand of terror, he simultaneously views them with the eyes of love.\u003cbr\u003e Martignetti spares no one, and to his credit, particularly not himself. For one who confesses so much fear, he is fearlessly self-revealing.\u003cbr\u003e After reading this memoir collection, you will come to know these characters, and the author, intimately. Not that you’d necessarily want to, it’s just the way things will turn out. \u003cp\u003eAbout the author:\u003cbr\u003eC. Anthony Martignetti, Ph.D., is a writer and psychotherapist in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife, Laura, and their Border Terrier, Piper. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s, as a high school graduation gift, his mother tried to nominate him for a Pulitzer Prize, but the panel refused to accept her recommendation since nobody had heard of either him or her... and all he had ever written were assignments for an English class in which he received a solid B. He got a set of Samsonite luggage as a graduation gift instead. As a result of that event he has remained, to this day, defiantly unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3 Swallys Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034770555120,"sku":"9780988230002","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780988230002_p0.jpg?v=1764106269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988230002","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
