{"product_id":"book-gw29","title":"The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick","description":"\u003cb\u003eEssays on music, art, pop culture, literature, and politics by the renowned essayist and observer of contemporary life, now collected together for the first time.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick\u003c\/i\u003e is a companion collection to \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Essays\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that proved a revelation of what, for many, had been an open secret: that Elizabeth Hardwick was one of the great American literary critics, and an extraordinary stylist in her own right. The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here—none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick's work—make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner's \u003ci\u003eParsifal\u003c\/i\u003e to Leonardo da Vinci's inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick's passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49356857606448,"sku":"BDgw29","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49356857639216,"sku":"ZEgw29","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49356857704752,"sku":"ZMgw29","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gw29-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780208954","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gw29","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
