{"product_id":"book-d2b8","title":"Hearts In Atlantis","description":"Stephen King, whose first novel, \u003ci\u003eCarrie,\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation. Images from that war -- and the protests against it -- had flooded America's living rooms for a decade. \u003ci\u003eHearts In Atlantis\u003c\/i\u003e is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War. \u003cbr\u003e In \"Low Men in Yellow Coats,\" eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood and that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. \u003cbr\u003e In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast. \u003cbr\u003e In \"Blind Willie\" and \"Why We're in Vietnam,\" two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow and haunted as their own lives. \u003cbr\u003e And in \"Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling,\" Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, and his heart's desire may await him. \u003cbr\u003e Full of danger, suspense, and full of heart, \u003ci\u003eHearts In Atlantis\u003c\/i\u003e takes some listeners to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347166634288,"sku":"BDd2b8","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49347166667056,"sku":"10d2b8","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/329936-d2b8-Square.jpg?v=1734192650","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d2b8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
