{"product_id":"9781590175583","title":"Dirty Snow","description":"Nineteen-year-old Frank Friedmaier lives in a country under occupation. Most people struggle to get by; Frank takes it easy in his mother’s whorehouse, which caters to members of the occupying forces. But Frank is restless. He is a pimp, a thug, a petty thief, and, as \u003ci\u003eDirty Snow\u003c\/i\u003e opens, he has just killed his first man. Through the unrelenting darkness and cold of an endless winter, Frank will pursue abjection until at last there is nowhere to go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHans Koning has described \u003ci\u003eDirty Snow\u003c\/i\u003e as “one of the very few novels to come out of German-occupied France that gets it exactly right.” In a study of the criminal mind that is comparable to Jim Thompson’s \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Inside Me\u003c\/i\u003e, Simenon maps a no man’s land of the spirit in which human nature is driven to destruction—and redemption, perhaps, as well—by forces beyond its control.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138099069168,"sku":"9781590175583","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590175583_p0.jpg?v=1763801940","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590175583","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
