{"product_id":"9780615140414","title":"Passing the American Charivari","description":"\u003cp\u003e25-year old Ivy League transplant, Tal, ventured West wide-eyed and earnest in his desire to write. Instead, he found a real job, lost the real job, and is now adrift on floes of temp jobs. A shadow at the mercy of his stuntwoman-girlfriend, who looks to L. Ron Hubbard for her own answers, he steals a week to escape from L.A. to New Orleans where out of the serendipitous chaos of Mardi Gras his best friend from college appears. Land Morales is brilliantly mad, but despite a once inseparable friendship with Tal, the two have careened into altogether different orbits. The empty space between them is spanned only by Land's quixotic last words to Tal - that he was embarking on a search for a community. Thrown together again, they thrust the reader into a jaunt that bebops through the conundrum of identity and faith both have grappled with while attempting to ward off the terrific delirium tremens flush of the American Century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sid Nasr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681502114027,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":35.12,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780615140414-1.jpg?v=1781631093","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780615140414","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
