What seems like an ordinary week in 2004 will prove to be a golden opportunity (at least in his mind) to reverse a lifetime of petty humiliations. And no one--not his newly observant wife, not the Holocaust survivor neighbor who regularly disturbs his sleep with her late-night gardening, and certainly not the former-classmate-turned-renowned-author who's returning to the library for a triumphant literary homecoming--will stand in his way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMeiselman\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumph of comic escalation.\u003cb\u003e -- Sam Lipsyte, author of \u003ci\u003eHark\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ask\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Landes, Avner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tortoise Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948954143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.93d","brand":"Avner Landes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39299808723019,"sku":"9781948954143","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_cc05500f-8085-4e8e-8935-79eb1f71066c.jpg?v=1617719134","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/meiselman-the-lean-years-9781948954143","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
