{"product_id":"two-guys-from-verona","title":"Two Guys from Verona","description":"Highly acclaimed on its publication and selected by The New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year, Two Guys from Verona is a rare breed of novel, striking a powerful chord across the nation and making James Kaplan the unexpected voice of a generation. It's the fall of 1999 in the plush New Jersey suburbs, and Will and Joel are fortyish, friends since the second grade. Will is a successful, tired cardboard salesman with a mortgage, a pretty wife, and 2.2 kids. Joel lives with his moth and works at a sub shop. Joel's favorite pastime is cruising the dark streets in his rusted-out '74 Chevy, drinking whiskey from a brown paper bag. Will feels sorry for Joel. And Joel feels sorry for Will. But their twenty-fifth high school reunion will change both their lives in ways neither has dreamed of - one facing death, the other facing life for the first time. \"A bittersweet elegy for what, not too long ago, looked like a spanking new American version of the promised land.\" - The New York Times Book Review","brand":"Grove Press \/ Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228833665368,"sku":"9780802136237","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780802136237.jpg?v=1765283433","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/two-guys-from-verona","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
