{"product_id":"if-you-lived-here-youd-already-be-home-9780984418404","title":"If You Lived Here You'd Already Be Home","description":"A middle-aged masochist in love with a comatose man. A gay birthday clown lamenting the loss of his beloved dog. An amateur veterinarian keeping watch over his suicidal daughter. And a bikini model with a barnacle stuck to her butt cheek. These are just a few of the characters who populate the quirky, offbeat world of IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU'D ALREADY BE HOME a world that feels at once alien and strangely familiar. In these twenty-one brief, funny stories, John Jodzio documents his characters disappointment, frustration, and longing for a home that seems forever out of reach. By turns bleak and hopeful, cruel and tender, this is an exciting literary debut by a writer to watch, a writer with a unique and compelling voice. You may think you've read enough stories about penniless gay clowns who can't get over the loss of a dog, but I assure you you have not. John Jodzio is the best kind of modern fiction writer: a thematic traditionalist who feels totally new. --Chuck Klosterman, author of SEX, DRUGS, AND COCOA PUFFS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Jodzio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Replacement Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984418404\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Replacement Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40484082778227,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":14.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_753e0437-33eb-468f-b976-c45dc5a2e8e6.jpg?v=1664632858","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/if-you-lived-here-youd-already-be-home-9780984418404","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
