{"product_id":"9780916583217","title":"Too Much Flesh and Jabez (American Literature (Dalkey Archive))","description":"\u003cp\u003eColeman Dowell's \"Southern Gothic\" is a novel about sexual repression. Miss Ethel, a spinster school teacher, decides to write what she calls a \"perverse tale\" about one of her former students, a Kentucky farmer named Jim Cummins. Endowing him with unnaturally large genitals, she spins a tawdry tale of his frustrated relationship with his petite wife. Expressing all the bitterness of \"an old woman's revenge,\" Miss Ethel's tale is nonetheless a sensitive depiction of rural life in the early years of World War II.Dowell's masterful use of the tale-within-a-tale to explore psychological states makes \"Too Much Flesh and Jabez\" a memorable achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42475934580811,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":533.01,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780916583217-1.jpg?v=1783365598","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780916583217","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
