Doing so deepens and enriches our understanding of these literary giants and the Mississippi modernism they made together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55116738855286,"sku":"9781496851093","price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38204355_62dfa0ac-bf4b-4322-ad51-460fb6a91c1f.jpg?v=1763801053","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781496851093-faulkner-welty-wright","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
