{"product_id":"9781460400067","title":"A Description of the Blazing World","description":"After Morgan Wells's wife leaves him, a postcard from France arrives. It is addressed to a Morgan Wellsbut not the Morgan Wells who receives it. Desperate to be led out of his despair, Morgan decides to read the postcard as a sign and embark upon a surreal journey to find, observe, and meet the other Morgan Wellses in the city of Toronto.  On the day that a 2003 citywide power outage submerges Toronto in darkness, a teenage boy finds a missive of his own: a copy of Margaret Cavendish's The Blazing-World, one of the first science fiction novels ever written. The boy, obsessed with the Choose Your Own Adventure series, interprets the coincidence of finding the book during the blackout as a premonition, and begins looking for proof that the end of the world is near.  A Description of the Blazing World interlaces two narratives in a novel about the city in the new millennium: a crowded space that incubates signs of an apocalypse that never quite materializes. But it is this very threat of imminent dangerthat everything could go up in blazesthat drives a reclusive man and a lonely boy to search for their respective revelations.","brand":"Freehand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129300599024,"sku":"9781460400067","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781460400067_p0.jpg?v=1763672852","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781460400067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
