He draws from sources as varied as Mark Twain, the Patty Hearst story, the Biblical story of Abraham \u0026amp; Isaac, Melville's Ishmael, detective fiction, his own experiences as a father and a teacher on Yuork Indian reservations, Hollywood, the porn industry and more, which he swirls together around the vortex created by the pull of his central hole. A young boy wakes one morning to discover he is sinking into the earth despite the new sneakers his parents promised would save him. A young woman begins reviewing films before they are made. A postal worker named Gary fulfills his occupational cliche and attacks Danny DeVito. A father writes letters to his wayward and far-flung sons. An archeologist finds evidence, perhaps, of the permeance of time as well as earth. A detective accepts a case requiring him to connect Patty Hearst to her other self. Though the story in A*HOLE is in continual flux, Obenzinger skillfully braids the multiple narrative threads into a novel which is much larger than its physical size, lyrically beautiful, and absorbing through and through.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403076309265,"sku":"CIN1932360468VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B007RCDF88.jpg?v=1751347741"},{"product_id":"new-york-on-fire-book-hilton-obenzinger-9780941104395","title":"New York on Fire","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52206791065873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52206794408209,"sku":"GOR014500041","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780941104395.jpg?v=1757757721"},{"product_id":"american-palestine-book-hilton-obenzinger-9780691009735","title":"American Palestine","description":"Combining literary and historical insights and attention to the context of other American writings about Palestine, this book throws light on the construction of American identity in the nineteenth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52736243007761,"sku":"NIN9780691009735","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780691009735.jpg?v=1763406533"},{"product_id":"busy-dying-book-hilton-obenzinger-9780925904737","title":"Busy Dying","description":"Fiction. At Columbia University in April 1968, Hilton Obenzinger was one of many students who dramatically occupied the president's office. For six days they protested the university's secret research to support the Vietnam War and its plans to build a gym in Morningside Park despite the opposition of Harlem. The occupation adn subsequent strike was a generational moment repeated in universities around the country and throughout the world. BUSY DYING is an autobiographical novel, a portrait of the author's Polish Jewish family, a coming of age in poetry, music, politics, and friends in New York City and Columbia, including a dangerous exodus through the Yukon to end up teaching on an Indian reservation in Northern California. All of this is comically and sometimes tragically relived as the author is inspired by a series of encounters and coincidences, including the revelations of students he teaches at Stanford today and the surprising discovery of the story behind 'Hilton Obenzinger, ' a 1980s Long Island high school humor magazine. Hilton Obenzinger is an American original. His lost histories are acts of legerdemain and cunning--mixing truth and imagination in ways rarely seen before--Paul Auster","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52789006270737,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52789006336273,"sku":"CIN0925904732G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780925904737.jpg?v=1764094385"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-hilton-obenzinger.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
