{"product_id":"infants-of-the-spring-thurman","title":"Infants of the Spring","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eBy Wallace Thurman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this rambunctious satire  Wallace Thurman  one of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance  takes his fellow artists and critics to task. The setting is a buzzing apartment building in 1930s Harlem  where avatars for the likes of Langston Hughes  Zora Neale Hurston  Countee Cullen  and Thurman himself come together to push past old boundaries and test out new ideas. But the heat of this collective energy soon threatens to consume them all  as wild parties  jealous rages  and intellectual conflicts turn the literary circle into an out-of-control hothouse of personal drama. Based on the author's own experiences  Infants of the Spring overflows with the theories and ideas of the Harlem Renaissance (to say nothing of criticisms and judgments that Thurman may have had about them). Perhaps because of that direct connection to this uniquely generative cultural moment  the book remains a vital novel about sex  race  gender  radical fervor  and artistic ambition.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52437636841752,"sku":"9781639238712","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52437636874520,"sku":"9781639238811","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/61UNqudK85L._SL1360.jpg?v=1784923843","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/infants-of-the-spring-thurman","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
