{"product_id":"9781602643024","title":"Throw Me under the Bus... Please","description":"English literature has been deluged by memoirs, commentaries and travel logs depicting the fascinating adventures of hearty souls and brilliant intellectuals. In contrast, \"Throw Me Under the Bus...Please\" is a cynical yet humorous account of a bus tour through Mexico in the company of my doting wife, two children and demanding parents. The book is neither a traditional event-oriented memoir or detail-laden synopsis of a foreign land. Rather, it reflects my sardonic but insightful reflections as I become an unwitting captive aboard a meticulously prompt tour bus meandering through the architectural wonders of pre-Colombian Mexico. I am a quirky \"everyman,\" guided by a thoughtful wife, humbled by my rapidly maturing pre-teen children and plagued by my cajoling parents. Although rife with facts and tales concerning Meso-American culture and architecture, the details serve primarily as a backdrop for my inner stream of sarcastic musings. Think Virginia Woolf meets Bob Hope, on the road without Bing Crosby for support.","brand":"Virtualbookworm.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055646523632,"sku":"9781602643024","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781602643024_p0.jpg?v=1763824817","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781602643024","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
