{"product_id":"9781941531297","title":"Half a Look of Cain","description":"Part fable and part rhapsodic exploration of desire and loss, \u003ci\u003eHalf a Look of Cain\u003c\/i\u003e bears Goyen's unmistakable artistic signature on every page. Told as a series of nested episodes, the novel is narrated alternately by a male nurse, his patient, and a lighthouse keeper. As boundaries blur and connections between the men emerge, \u003ci\u003eHalf a Look of Cain\u003c\/i\u003e becomes a meditation on communion and alienation, and an exploration of emotional and physical longing. The novel is both a rediscovered cry against the conformity and suppressed emotions of the 1950s and a celebration of passion. Reginald Gibbons has edited the novel from the author's multiple manuscripts and has contributed a wonderful afterword.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dzanc Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174036062448,"sku":"9781941531297","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941531297_p0.jpg?v=1763795984","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941531297","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
