Thus begins a 15-year quest that forever threatens to teeter into the absurd. Far from being another self-congratulatory writer's memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Clandestine Novelist\u003c\/i\u003e is a reminder that the pursuit of art sometimes carries a ludicrous price.\u003cp\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Clandestine Novelist\u003c\/i\u003e is a hilarious novel with a sharply ironic edge. Mike Benjamin, the narrator, must find his way in a world that makes its artists heroes at the same time it abandons them. This is a contradiction that haunts all the Yossarians of our society.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Tony Trigilio, author of \u003ci\u003e'Strange Prophecies Anew': Rereading Apocalypse in Blake, H.D.\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGinsberg\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Evich takes us on a rollicking tour through the land of rejection letters and low-pay jobs, a.k.a. the writing life.\" --Pagan Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mitch Evich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595295715\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40846700380275,"sku":"9.7806E+12","price":13.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b58b03f8-e2a4-456d-8c02-19b1694dc9d9.jpg?v=1686145382","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-clandestine-novelist-9780595295715","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
