But he was so much more, a comic Garrison Keillor-like figure whose unique voice transcended the airwaves and affected a whole generation of nostalgic Americans. \u003ci\u003eA Fistful of Fig Newtons\u003c\/i\u003e is classic Jean Shepherd--sidesplittingly funny and sardonically irreverent. It is a brilliant comic assessment of American life--all of them delivered in Jean Shepherd's witty, classy, unforgettable style.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Fistful of Fig Newtons | Jean Shepherd | Paperback | 9780385188432 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1662854","offer_id":50784646463746,"sku":"1662854","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61w0gKq-aFL.jpg?v=1792239448","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/fistful-of-fig-newtons","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
