{"product_id":"the-end-a-novel-2","title":"The End: A Novel","description":"An incredible debut and National Book Award-nominated novel, described as \"Memento meets Augie March. Didion meets Hitchcock\" by Esquire, from the author of The Volunteer\n\nIt is August 15, 1953, the day of a boisterous and unwieldy street carnival in Elephant Park, an Italian immigrant enclave in northern Ohio. As the festivities reach a riotous pitch and billow into the streets, five members of the community labor under the weight of a terrible secret. As these floundering souls collide, one day of calamity and consequence sheds light on a half century of their struggles, their follies, and their pride. And slowly, it becomes clear that buried deep in the hearts of these five exquisitely drawn characters is the long-silenced truth about the crime that twisted each of their worlds.\n\nCast against the racial, spiritual, and moral tension that has given rise to modern America, this first novel exhumes the secrets lurking in the darkened crevices of the soul of our country. Inventive, explosive, and revelatory, The End introduces Salvatore Scibona as an important new voice in American fiction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594484058\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1594484058.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Scibona, Salvatore\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.
