In quick, translucent prose (Michiko Kakutani, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e) that is at once lyrical and unsentimental, D. J. Waldie recounts growing up in Lakewood, California, a prototypical post-World War II suburb. Laid out in 316 sections as carefully measured as a grid of tract houses, \u003cem\u003eHoly Land\u003c\/em\u003e is by turns touching, eerie, funny, and encyclopedic in its handling of what was gained and lost when thousands of blue-collar families were thrown together in the suburbs of the 1950s. An intensely realized and wholly original memoir about the way in which a place can shape a life, \u003cem\u003eHoly Land\u003c\/em\u003e is ultimately about the resonance of choices--how wide a street should be, what to name a park--and the hopes that are realized in the habits of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.24 x 5.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 17, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178284433657,"sku":"9780393327281","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MUlOU2hyVGx3SEFPU0lJbDRNZW4rZz09_15243f3c-1b15-45ea-913d-64f5400021dc.webp?v=1767722892","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/holy-land-a-suburban-memoir-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
