{"product_id":"sharpshooter-blues-book-lewis-nordan-9781565120839","title":"The Sharpshooter Blues","description":"ALA Notable Book; Mississippi Arts and Letters Fiction Award. Lewis Nordan's remarkable third novel, THE SHARPSHOTER BLUES, is in part a meditation on America's love affair with blue-steel barrels and soft-tip bullets, and in part a look at the violence and loss that ensue when the guns come out to play one day in a small town. Just as his award-winning WOF WHISTLE illuminated the complexity of racism, Nordan's new novel shines the brilliant flash of gunfire on love--between fathers and sons, between husbands and wives, between gay lovers, and between friends. At its heart is Hydro Raney, a boy who's never grown up, a boy who wouldn't hurt a soul. In THE SHARPSHOTER BLUES, Nordan once again makes us laugh; then our helpless laughter turns first into weeping and then into wonder. A comedy at least half as divine--and dark--as Dante's own . . . a flat-out tour de force.--Lee K. Abbott, Miami Herald; This is not just a good book, this is a marvelous book.-The Village Voice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49882569900305,"sku":"CIN1565120833G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51322574864657,"sku":"CIN1565120833VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51733819162897,"sku":"CIN1565120833A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1565120833.jpg?v=1750959534","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/sharpshooter-blues-buch-lewis-nordan-9781565120839","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
