{"product_id":"2940170560776","title":"Burning Down George Orwell's House","description":"A darkly comic debut novel about advertising, truth, single malt, Scottish hospitality¿or lack thereof¿and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.\u003cbr\u003e Ray Welter, who was until recently a highflying advertising executive in Chicago, has left the world of newspeak behind. He decamps to the isolated Scottish Isle of Jura in order to spend a few months in the cottage where George Orwell wrote most of his seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray is miserable, and quite prepared to make his troubles go away with the help of copious quantities of excellent scotch.\u003cbr\u003eBut a few of the local islanders take a decidedly shallow view of a foreigner coming to visit in order to sort himself out, and Ray quickly finds himself having to deal with not only his own issues but also a community whose eccentricities are at times amusing and at others downright dangerous. Also, the locals believe¿or claim to believe¿that there¿s a werewolf about, and against his better judgment, Ray¿s misadventures build to the night of a traditional, boozy werewolf hunt on the Isle of Jura on the summer solstice.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115454710000,"sku":"2940170560776","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170560776_p0.jpg?v=1763712775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170560776","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
