{"product_id":"9781847083517","title":"U AND I : A True Story by Nicholson Baker","description":"When Nicholson Baker, one of the most linguistically talented writers in America, set out to write a book about John Updike, the result was no ordinary biography. Instead Baker's account of his relationship with his hero is a hilarious story of ambition, obsession, talent and neurosis, alternately self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing. More memoir than literary criticism, Baker is excruciatingly honest, and U \u0026amp; I reveals at least as much about Baker himself as it does about his idol. Written twenty years before Updike's death in 2009, U \u0026amp; I is a very smart and extremely funny exploration of the debts we owe our heroes.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308338196853,"sku":"9781847083517","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847083517.jpg?v=1762807205","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847083517","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
