{"product_id":"the-rags-of-time-a-novel","title":"The Rags of Time: A Novel","description":"The magnificent conclusion of Maureen Howard's ambitious quartet of novels.\n\nMaureen Howard is one of America's most esteemed authors, beloved both for the lyricism of her writing and her dazzling intellect. The Rags of Time is a moving meditation on memory and imagination that, in its interplay of history, politics, art and life, explores the very necessity of telling stories. Focusing on a New York writer with an ailing heart as she reviews her own history and the lives she imagined in her fiction, the novel interlaces the sorrows and consolations of private moments with the undeniable memory of the public record. The result is nothing less than a deeply profound exploration of American life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143117890\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0143117890.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Howard, Maureen\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: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374013775933,"sku":"BVV.0143117890.VG","price":16.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0143117890-0.jpg?v=1784583525","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-rags-of-time-a-novel","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
