{"product_id":"sinatraland-9780879519179","title":"Sinatraland","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy turns riotous and poignant  Sam Kashners Sinatraland introduces a remarkable character  and a talented new writer  to contemporary American fiction. Sam Kashners darkly brilliant first novel tells the story of Finkie Finkelstein  businessman from New Jersey  and lovingly obsessed fan of Frank Sinatra. To Finkie  Frank is the model of a man: elegant  sophisticated  talented  with charm to spare. All of Finkles decisions  his choice of house (the largest home in Fort Lee. The real estate agent told me it briefly belonged to Buddy Hacket)  the name of his daughter (Nancy Ava  after Sinatras first two wives)  are made with Frank in mind. Now if only he could let Frank know how much he means to him...Through a series of unanswered letters to his idol  Finkies life unfolds  a life where Sinatra is center stage while all the rest takes a backseat. In Sinatraland  Finkies trials are numerous: a failing marriage; a strained relationship with both his daughter and his brother; an ill-fated affair with an office co-worker  but as long as Frank comes out with a new record or film  theres always hope. And indeed  Finkies life takes an extraordinary turn when he attends the Chairmans famed farewell concert in 1971  an experience that is proof positive of his belief. Its a crazy world  Francis  is it not?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929703120949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0879519177","price":66.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780879519179.jpg?v=1794199076","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sinatraland-9780879519179","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
