{"product_id":"9781541148871","title":"They Were Not Amused: Essays In Ineptitude","description":"I began writing personal essays about twenty-five years ago, at about the time I taught my first composition class at the University of Nevada. As the grand finale in my freshman writing courses, I asked my students to produce a personal essay, using Phillip Lopate's Joie de Vivre for examples. I thought that in fairness I should also share with the students my own foibles and personality snags-the accumulation of which have led me into lifelong conflict and head shaking with those in authority over me. I am now left with the residue, like an urn-full of gristly and grizzly ashes with the proverbial no place to go other than to be either flushed or published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eTony Roegiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDec 15, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e82 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1541148878\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781541148871\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49149741039921,"sku":"9781541148871","price":12.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781541148871__00721_9783ad24-3625-4e28-a6da-d37de3e578bd.jpg?v=1716202227","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781541148871","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
