{"product_id":"you-know-me-al","title":"You know me Al","description":"In the early decades of the 20th century, newspaperman and humorist Ring Lardner (1885-1933) made America laugh with his hilarious depictions of odd characters in the sporting world, Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood. His first great success was 'You Know Me All,' a fictional series of letters from a particular baseball hero to his friend, slyly revealing the letter writer as a crude, conceited, semiliterate, self-deceiving boob. The letters first appeared in 'The Saturday Evening Post' and were later published in book form in 1916. You know me all reveals Lardner as a satyrical master at the peak of his form - a fine, albeit misanthropic, storyteller with a superb feel for the niceties of characters and speech, and a sure instinct for what can make us laugh.","brand":"Blue Vase Bulk","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9780486285139-001","offer_id":43778278359101,"sku":"9780486285139-001","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/3101203482361.jpg?v=1791376319","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/you-know-me-al","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
