{"product_id":"grief-9781401308940","title":"Grief","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn the tradition of Michael Cunningham's \u003ci\u003eThe Hours\u003c\/i\u003e, a beautiful novel destined to become a classic\u003c\/b\u003e Reeling from the recent death of his invalid mother, a worn, jaded professor comes to our nation's capital to recuperate from his loss. What he finds there--in his repressed, lonely landlord, in the city's mood and architecture, and in the letters and journals of Mary Todd Lincoln--shows him new, poignant truths about America, yearning, loneliness, and mourning itself. Since Andrew Holleran first burst onto the scene with 1978's groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eDancer from the Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been continuously in print, he has been dazzling readers and critics with his haunting, brilliant prose. The Publishing Triangle ranks \u003ci\u003eDancer from the Dance\u003c\/i\u003e at #15 on its list of the 100 best lesbian and gay novels ever, along with titles by Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf. A new Andrew Holleran book is a major literary event; with \u003ci\u003eGrief\u003c\/i\u003e, Holleran is poised to reach a wider audience than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Holleran\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a short story collection and four acclaimed novels, \u003ci\u003eDancer from the Dance, Nights in Aruba, The Beauty of Men\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGrief\u003c\/i\u003e.
