In \u003cem\u003eJimmy Crack Corn\u003c\/em\u003e, Carley assembles a chorus of vivid, precisely imagined characters grappling with questions of freedom and innocence as only a writer with four decades of social work experience can. Still, the plot, which traces the lived rhythms of 'DoGooder Jimmy the Bleeder, ' plays second fiddle to Carley's full-bodied, typically playful and always poignant language to produce a raw, warm, and lyrical work.\" ---\u003cem\u003eIn the Hills Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122099884167,"sku":"9781772442588","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/e58e51d99748b0d85a7e6f6321c5cecb.webp?v=1732558043","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/jimmy-crack-corn-a-novel-in-c-minor-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
