{"product_id":"my-cold-war-a-novel","title":"My Cold War: A Novel","description":"John Delano is in trouble. A professor of Cold War Studies at a small New England college, hetraffics in what others call \"History McNuggets\" -- gimmicky, easily digestible glimpses of our collective past. But as he struggles with his magnum opus -- a major new book on the \"surfaces\" of the Cold War era -- Delano's life begins to fall apart. In a series of dazzlingly rendered and escalating encounters, he revisits the treeless vistas of 1950s suburbia, the streets of Dallas and the JFK assassination, the Summer of Love, and other landmark moments, and finally travels into the heartland to reconnect with his estranged brother. What he finds there, and what he makes of it, forms this novel's poignant climax.\nBob Dylan has said that Tom Piazza's \"stories pulsate with nervous electrical tension -- reveal the emotions that we can't define.\" Now, in a breakout novel of power, subtlety, and range, Piazza braids together the inner and outer life of our times, in a story that will leave readers both shaken and exhilarated.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060533404\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 56JPTD000GFW_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Piazza, Tom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Some corner dings.
