{"product_id":"9781504023528","title":"Darling Clementine","description":"\u003ci\u003eDarling Clementine\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of Samantha, a poetess determined to transform her sex life into a meditation: a pathway to enlightenment. Along for the ride is her brand new husband, Arthur Clementine, a wealthy, calm, but crypto-zany assistant district attorney for New York County. The novel begins with their meeting and works its way backward and forward. In the past, a series of darkening love affairs lead Sam to a suicide attempt and a breakdown. Now, Samantha works on a suicide hotline and uses her marriage in a search for radical sanity, a sort of road show of \u003ci\u003eLove’s Body\u003c\/i\u003e. Along the way, she reconciles polymorphous perversity with housework; tries to talk one of William Blake’s deities out of killing himself—or someone else; and watches, with everyone else, as the world moves toward the ever popular brink of destruction. \u003ci\u003eDarling Clementine\u003c\/i\u003e is an effervescent combination of Henry Miller and P.G Woodhouse, in a character as daffy and enchanting as Truman Capote’s Holly Golightly was in \u003ci\u003eBreakfast at Tiffany’s\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Permanent Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132117139696,"sku":"9781504023528","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504023528_p0.jpg?v=1763711328","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504023528","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
