{"product_id":"take-the-cannoli-stories-from-the-new-world-3","title":"Take the Cannoli: Stories From the New World","description":"A wickedly funny collection of personal essays from popular NPR personality Sarah Vowell.\n\nHailed by Newsweek as a \"cranky stylist with talent to burn,\" Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life.\n\nWhile tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears.\n\nTake the Cannoli is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743205405\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0743205405.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vowell, Sarah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\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: This book is a well used but readable copy.
