{"product_id":"the-wild-palms","title":"Wild Palms","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this feverishly beautiful novel—originally titled If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem—William Faulkner interweaves two narratives, each wholly absorbing in its own right, each subtly illuminating the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn New Orleans in 1937, a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion, fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation, survival and self-sacrifice, a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed with fatal injuries of the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wild Palms is grandly inventive, heart-stopping in its prose, and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e William Faulkner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304pp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.25 x 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 1995\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e978-0679741930\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48982384869632,"sku":"9780679741930","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3902\/files\/wildpalmswfaul.jpg?v=1783692842","url":"https:\/\/atomicbooks.com\/products\/the-wild-palms","provider":"Atomic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
