{"product_id":"9781582433738","title":"Step from Death","description":"\u003cbr\u003eLarry Woiwode's literary fame began with his first novel, the 1969 classic \u003ci\u003eWhat I’m Going to Do, I Think,\u003c\/i\u003e and continued unabated through his brilliant 2000 memoir \u003ci\u003eWhat I Think I Did.\u003c\/i\u003e In this deeply affecting follow-up to the latter, Woiwode addresses his son as heir to his emotional interior. With vibrant wordcraft and a poetic sensibility, Woiwode begins his story by relating a near-death experience with a malfunctioning hay baler — the kind of mistake that can kill a novice farmer. This episode is the first skein in a rich tapestry of memories, from colorful snippets of Woiwode’s time in New York as a young writer working with the late, great William Maxwell, to his days as a young father, husband, and teacher trying to scrape enough together to buy a ranch in western North Dakota, and finally to the prospect of an empty nest and the step from death that he finds rapidly approaching.","brand":"Counterpoint Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034873577712,"sku":"9781582433738","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781582433738_p0.jpg?v=1763784637","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781582433738","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
