{"product_id":"books-the-folded-clock-by-heidi-julavits","title":"The Folded Clock","description":"Like many young people, Heidi Julavits kept a diary. Decades later she found her old diaries in a storage bin, and hoped to discover the early evidence of the person (and writer) she'd since become. Instead, The actual diaries revealed me to possess the mind of a paranoid tax auditor. The entries are daily chronicles of anxieties about grades, looks, boys, and popularity. After reading the confessions of her past self, writes Julavits, I want to good-naturedly laugh at this person. I want to but I can't. What she wanted then is scarcely different from what I want today. Thus was born a desire to try again, to chronicle her daily life as a forty-something woman, wife, mother, and writer. The dazzling result is The Folded Clock, in which the diary form becomes a meditation on time and self.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509015077137,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780804171441.jpg?v=1778156240","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-folded-clock-by-heidi-julavits","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
