{"product_id":"consider-the-lobster-and-other-essays","title":"Consider the Lobster and Other Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Back Bay paperback of David Foster Wallace's 2005 essay collection, covering the Maine Lobster Festival, John McCain's 2000 campaign, lexicography, and Kafka's sense of humor. Wallace's footnotes proliferate; his sentences unwind; his moral attention is relentless. The cover is the standard Back Bay trade format, with the clean typography that signals you are buying a collection that started in magazines. Back Bay reissued it as a paperback original after the hardcover had done its work. Ideal reader: the reader who wants essays that think harder than the reader asked them to, or the journalist who needs to be reminded that a magazine assignment can become literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48509809164500,"sku":"9780316013321","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780316013321.jpg?v=1787240047","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/consider-the-lobster-and-other-essays","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
