{"product_id":"2200091","title":"The Beetle Leg","description":"159 pp. After years of underground existence, this brilliant novel is emerging as a classic of visionary writing and still remains Hawkes's only work devoted solely to American life. The Beetle Leg, John Hawkes's second full-length novel, was first published by New Directions in 1951. After years of underground existence, this brilliant novel is emerging as a classic of visionary writing and still remains Hawkes's only work devoted solely to American life. As a 'surrealist Western\" (Newsweek), and a violent and poetic portrayal of \"a landscape of sexual apathy\" (Albert J. Guerard), The Beetle Leg is a rich flight into the special vein of comedy that Hawkes had begun to exploit a decade before the popular acceptance of \"black humor.\"","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12595667337286,"sku":"2200091","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2200091.jpg?v=1571422989","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/2200091","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
