{"product_id":"9781878972057","title":"Last Nights of Paris","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in 1928 by one of the founders of the Surrealist movement, and translated the following year by William Carlos Williams (the two had been introduced in Paris by a mutual friend), \u003ci\u003eLast Nights of Paris\u003c\/i\u003e is related to Surrealist novels such as \u003ci\u003eNadja\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParis Peasant,\u003c\/i\u003e but also to the American expatriate novels of its day such as \u003ci\u003eDay of the Locust.\u003c\/i\u003e The story concerns the narrator's obsession with a woman who leads him into an underworld that promises to reveal the secrets of the city itself... and in Williams' wonderfully direct translation it reads like a lost Great American Novel. A vivid portrait of the city that entranced both its native writers and the Americans who traveled to it in the 20s, \u003ci\u003eLast Nights of Paris\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare collaboration between the literary circles at the root of both French and American Modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exact Change","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052755501296,"sku":"9781878972057","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781878972057_p0.jpg?v=1763603599","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781878972057","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
