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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs scandal and ambition collide, \u003ci\u003eColossus \u003c\/i\u003ebecomes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Barkan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.02w x 1.04d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781648211775","brand":"Arcade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46020129980553,"sku":"9781648211775","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_965febf8-9427-4a59-ad8a-3769e197d4f0.jpg?v=1777407305","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/colossus-9781648211775","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
