{"product_id":"ned-russin-horizontal-rust","title":"Ned Russin \"Horizontal Rust\"","description":"It’s 2013 and a jobless Graham Mercy has just returned home to Wilkes-Barre, PA, after graduating from Columbia University. With his country still mired in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and with nothing better to do, Graham sets out to fulfill a family obligation by attending the weekend-long convention of a failing regional life-insurance co-op. Expecting nothing but tedium and a $600 stipend, Graham instead gets a surprise job offer he can neither accept nor decline, develops a sudden infatuation he can neither pursue nor ignore, and unwittingly enters into an absurd power struggle that could render him a pariah within his own family and ancestral community.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHorizontal Rust, the debut novel by Ned Russin of Title Fight and Glitterer, is a story about trying to understand boredom, abstract expressionism, family, personal narratives, and Wilkes-Barre.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“[Horizontal Rust’s] offbeat realism offers readers much to consider.” - Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e171 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5”x8”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrinted on recycled paper\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 978-1-7364991-0-8","brand":"Shining Life Press","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":67854618427570,"sku":"kxl1793440523643","price":14.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/7220\/2930\/files\/ned-russin-horizontal-rust_1.png?v=1793440530","url":"https:\/\/alivividselect.shop\/products\/ned-russin-horizontal-rust","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
