{"product_id":"2940014773027","title":"Ivyland","description":"It’s spring in Ivyland . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebut novelist Miles Klee takes a landscape of drugs, decay, loss and, perhaps, hope, and manages to make the ensemble wryly funny: something only a few notable contemporaries such as Jeff Vandermeer and Michael Chabon have been able to do. Post-urban New Jersey is instantly recognizable in this interlinked series of short vignettes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e. . . and Lev’s living room is puddles of water and sun, and a bunch of those furry caterpillars are hauling themselves from surface to surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePopulated by a bumbling, murderous citizenry of corrupt cops, innocents, ravenous addicts, lovesick geniuses, and cynical adventurers, Ivyland operates in the shadow of a giant pharmaceutical corporation that thrives on people’s weaknesses . . . and may have an even more sinister agenda. It’s our world, only a bit more extreme, and lovingly, precisely depicted with the adept skills native to a master of dark humor.","brand":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083927404784,"sku":"2940014773027","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014773027_p0.jpg?v=1763615092","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014773027","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
