Winner of the 2016 Sexton Prize for Poetry (selected by Don Share of \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e magazine), AMERICAN PURGATORY is a story of the working class, a dystopia set in a near-future United States marked by severe drought, herbicidal warfare, and a totalitarian climate of poverty. This purgatory is populated by those who believe that if they work hard enough, they will be set free. Against this backdrop, three unlikely characters begin a journey that will take them away from work, belief, and even each other, until the protagonist uncovers a truth about this place that indeed sets her free. Equal parts Dante and Cormac McCarthy, AMERICAN PURGATORY is a coming-of-age for capitalism written in the decade of tea-party terror.","brand":"Eyewear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47321262129407,"sku":"9781911335443","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_924b0368-6187-49ff-8855-b3f10d523bee.jpg?v=1759457301","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781911335443","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
