One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. Almost magically, the line between fact and fiction, between real and invented characters, disappears. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the era of Henry Ford and his Model T; of Emma Goldman, the revolutionary; of J.

All of them cross paths with Doctorow's brilliant fictional creations, including Tateh, an immigrant Jewish peddler, and Coalhouse Walker, Jr., a ragtime pianist from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice brings this spellbinding classic to a shocking climax.","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48946483069183,"sku":"9798217460106","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798217460106","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
