{"product_id":"little-boy","title":"Little Boy","description":"\u003csection class=\"overview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loose an exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closing statement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet. The “Little Boy” of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from his overburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a rich Bronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing), graduate work, and a scholar gypsy’s vagabond life in Paris followed. These biographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque high energy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence and prognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle Boy \u003c\/em\u003eis a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repository of hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net (or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: USA, 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 179 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780525565956\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:  0525565957\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Ferlinghetti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39349876752487,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/Screenshot_2021-05-18Gardners-LittleBoyANovel.png?v=1621344343","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/little-boy","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
