The Sexual Revolution is in full-swing-a historical moment of unprecedented opportunity-and Keith and his friends are immediately caught up in its chaotic, ecstatic throes. Yet they soon discover a disturbing truth: between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of liminal purgatory, once described by the Russian thinker Alexander Herzen as a pregnant widow.As Amis deftly explores the repercussions and consequences of that one summer, he presents us with a precise and poignant portrait of change. Expertly written and full of wit and pathos, The Pregnant Widow is Amis at his fearless best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908075290912,"sku":"NEW1400095980","price":17.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71oXWfdAlsL.jpg?v=1782256316","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-pregnant-widow-vintage-international-1400095980","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
