{"product_id":"9780316215664","title":"Me and the Devil","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eA raw and blazing novel by \"the single, most brain-searingly dangerous man of letters. Read him at your peril.\" (Anthony Bourdain)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An aging New Yorker, a writer named Nick, feels life ebbing out of him.  The world has gone to hell and Nick is so sick of it all that he can't  even have a glass of champagne. Then one night he meets a tantalizing  young woman who agrees to come back to his apartment. Their encounter is  the most strangely extraordinary of his life. Propelled by  uncontrollable, primordial desires, he enters a new and unimagined  dimension of the forbidden and is filled with a sexual and spiritual  ecstasy that is as intense as it is unholy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly Nick's  senses are alive. He feels strong, unconquerable, beyond all inhibition  and earthly morality. He indulges in life's pleasures, pure and  perverse, sublime and dangerous, from the delicate flavors of the  perfect tomato to the fleshy beauty of a woman's thigh. But Nick's  desire to sustain his rapture leads him to a madness and a darkness far  greater and dreadful than have ever ridden the demon mares of night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting  in a lineage that includes Dante, William S. Burroughs, Charles  Bukowski, Hubert Selby, Jr., and Hunter S. Thompson, Nick Tosches may be  America's last real literary outlaw-a fearless, uncensorable seeker of  our deepest secret truths and desires, from the basest to the most  beautiful.  \u003ci\u003eMe and the Devil\u003c\/i\u003e is outrageous, disturbing, and  brilliant, a raw and blazing novel truly unlike any other. Like the man  said: Read him at your peril.","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120858710256,"sku":"9780316215664","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316215664_p0.jpg?v=1769889115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316215664","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
