{"product_id":"the-witches-of-eastwick","title":"The Witches of Eastwick","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Random House Trade Paperback of John Updike's 1984 novel about three divorced women in Rhode Island who discover they have powers, a coven, and then a wealthy stranger named Darryl Van Horne in their orbit. Updike treats witchcraft as a lens for examining sex, class, and suburban boredom, and the prose is as overgrown and precise as a tended garden. The Random House paperback is the standard trade format, with the kind of cover that signals literary fiction rather than genre. Ideal reader: the reader who thinks the American small novel could use more thunderstorms and less sentimentality, or the Updike fan who wants to see him play with the supernatural as social comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48520406204628,"sku":"0394537602","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780394537603.jpg?v=1787415403","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/the-witches-of-eastwick","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
