{"product_id":"9781619029170","title":"Cool for You : A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eEileen Myles, the popular author of Chelsea Girls and Not Me, the poet who ran an openly female campaign for president in 1992, now gives us a talking masterpiece of a novel that scratches out and rewrites the picture of what fifty years of female life looks like today.  Cool For You is a darkly comic novel that traces the downbeat progress of an Irish American girl through a series of stuttering efforts to leave home. Cool For You's tough girl narrator wants to be an astronaut. Instead, she becomes a poet and takes us on a ferocious tour of, low-end schools, pathetic jobs, and unmade beds. This is a book hell-bent on telling the truth about poor women, how they do and do not get out of the hands of the family and the State.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49776973512952,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":33.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781619029170-1.jpg?v=1783726010","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781619029170","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
