{"product_id":"9781770468030","title":"Over Easy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fast-paced semi-memoir about diners, drugs, and California in the late 70sAfter being denied financial aid to cover her last year of art school, Margaret takes a waitressing job at local Oakland fixture: the Imperial Café. Here an impressionable young woman transforms into the worldly Madge as she is introduced to the wisecracking, fast-talking, drug-binging cooks, dishwashers, and waitstaff in her new life. At first she mimics these new and exotic grown-up friends, trying on the guise of adulthood with some awkward but funny stumbles. Gradually she realizes that these adults she idolizes are a mess of contradictions, misplaced artistic ambitions, sexual confusion, dependencies, and addictions.Over Easyis equal parts time capsule of late 1970s life in California--with its deadheads, punks, disco rollers, casual sex, and drug use--and bildungsroman of a young woman who grows from a naïve, sexually inexperienced art-school dropout into a self-aware, self-confident artist. Mimi Pond's chatty, slyly observant anecdotes create a compelling portrait of a distinct moment in time.Over Easyis an immediate, limber, and precise semi-memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-09-16\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46494887575683,"sku":"9781770468030","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781770468030.jpg?v=1770354704","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781770468030","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
