{"product_id":"the-lonely-polygamist-9780393339710","title":"The Lonely Polygamist","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Richards, husband to four wives, father to twenty-eight children, is having the mother of all midlife crises. His construction business is failing, his family has grown into an overpopulated mini-dukedom beset with insurrection and rivalry, and he is done in with grief: due to the accidental death of a daughter and the stillbirth of a son, he has come to doubt the capacity of his own heart. Brady Udall, one of our finest American fiction writers, tells a tragicomic story of a deeply faithful man who, crippled by grief and the demands of work and family, becomes entangled in an affair that threatens to destroy his family's future. Like John Irving and Richard Yates, Udall creates characters that engage us to the fullest as they grapple with the nature of need, love, and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully written, keenly observed, and ultimately redemptive, \u003cem\u003eThe Lonely Polygamist\u003c\/em\u003e is an unforgettable story of an American family--with its inevitable dysfunctionality, heartbreak, and comedy--pushed to its outer limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUdall, Brady:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eBrady Udall\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller \u003cem\u003eThe Lonely Polygamist\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Miracle Life of Edgar Mint\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLetting Loose the Hounds\u003c\/em\u003e.
