Divorces ensued. World War II happened. Prewar partying gave way to postwar austerity, and Jane and Johns now-grown children, Philip and Mary, both as serious and sober as their parents were not, seem earnestly bent on marriage, which John and Jane consider a mistake. The two old lovers conspire against the two young lovers, and nothing turns out quite as expected.Nothing, like the closely related Doting, is a book that is almost entirely composed in dialogue, since in these late novels nothing so interested Green as how words resist, twist, and expose our intentions; how they fail us, lead us on, make fools of us, and may, in spite of ourselves, even save us, at least for a time. Nothing spills over with the bizarre and delicious comedy and poetry of human incoherence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971708420384,"sku":"NEW168137143X","price":16.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/816nMQ_bS-L.jpg?v=1783777567","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nothing-new-york-review-books-classics-168137143x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
