{"product_id":"u-i","title":"U \u0026 I","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.","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42986383736912,"sku":"9781847083517B","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/u-i","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
