{"product_id":"9781592994489","title":"A Painter's Life","description":"K.B. Dixon's work has been described as original, clever, pithy, lyrical, insightful, gonzo, and laugh-out-loud funny. His new novel, A Painter's Life, is a characteristically mischievous oddity. A mix of biographical scraps, journal entries, review excerpts, and interviews, it is an intimate and introspective tour of the art world-a portrait of the sometimes portraitist Christopher Freeze. Focusing in part on Freeze's friends, family, and fellow artists-as well as his relationship with his frazzled dealer and his would-be monographer-it is an inventive, seriocomic look at one peculiar man's ceaseless struggle to make something beautiful.","brand":"First Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045305368816,"sku":"9781592994489","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781592994489_p0.jpg?v=1763808313","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781592994489","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
