Shapiro, who later achieved cult status writing as John Sanford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the original edition's dust jacket: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe Water Wheel\u003c\/em\u003e recounts both the real and imagined-real adventures of one John B. Sanford in New York and London over a short period in 1927. The novel is completely dominated by Sanford, a self-assumed individualist--and self-styled 'lawclerk, sinner, ex-convict, adolescent, grandson and legatee of a Litvak matchvendor.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The author has maintained a rigid objectivity, at no time intruding upon the narrative, or showing his hand by making Sanford a mouth-piece for the expression of ideas outside the scope of the novel. Notwithstanding the author's neutrality, only the most literal will overlook in Sanford a character definitely in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In form, \u003cem\u003eThe Water Wheel\u003c\/em\u003e has no counterpart in American letters. It deliberately avoids the traditional, but its objectives are always clarity and simplicity. The many technical and typographical innovations are designed to suit the subject matter, and are not fake-modern tricks.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52543026561331,"sku":"9780578640211","price":31.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZnBCSEYraHAvOWZCNC80dnVYSnBHQT09.webp?v=1760918316","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-water-wheel-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
