A beloved pastor in a small Midwestern town, a devoted husband and father of three, and a rising real estate magnate, he has built a life that gleams with virtue and success. Self-made in every sense, Teddy is a man of conviction, or at least it seems. But behind the pulpit and the polished smile lies a fractured past, and when a figure from that buried life reemerges, the once-sturdy walls of his world begin to fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs scandal and ambition collide, Colossus becomes the story of American hunger for reinvention and the blatant self-interest beneath its surface. Written with the moral gravity of Robert Penn Warren and the psychological insight of Philip Roth, Ross Barkan offers a timely update on the examination of the American identity in an age of performance and decay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084640788707,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781648211775-1.jpg?v=1788520627","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/zh\/products\/9781648211775","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
