{"product_id":"so-far-gone-a-novel","title":"So Far Gone: A Novel | Jess Walter","description":"From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins—and in the wild, propulsive spirit of Charles Portis’ True Grit—comes a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren.\u003cbr\u003e\"As talented a natural storyteller as is working in American fiction.\"—Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e“[Walter is] brilliant and brilliantly funny.” —Esquire\u003cbr\u003e“A national treasure” —Anthony Doerr\u003cbr\u003eRhys Kinnick has gone off the grid. At Thanksgiving a few years back, a fed-up Rhys punched his conspiracy-theorist son-in-law in the mouth, chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, with no one around except a pack of hungry raccoons.\u003cbr\u003eNow, seven years later, Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father, a man with no phone, no computer, and a car that barely runs, reemerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia?\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of his caustic ex-girlfriend, a bipolar retired detective, and his only friend (who happens to be furious with him), Kinnick heads off on a madcap journey through cultural lunacy and the rubble of a life he thought he’d left behind. So Far Gone is a rollicking, razor-sharp, and ultimately moving road trip through a fractured nation, from a writer who has been called “a genius of the modern American moment” (Philadelphia Inquirer).","brand":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50299025359163,"sku":"0062868144","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/9885553482210.jpg?v=1747376836","url":"https:\/\/bustdownbooks.com\/products\/so-far-gone-a-novel","provider":"Bust-Down Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
