{"product_id":"9781941550632","title":"Murderous Fantasies","description":"\u003cp\u003eBe forewarned! This is no \"conventional\" novel-it's a noirwreck at the intersection of East End Avenue, Dashell Hammett, Thomas Pynchon, Max Ernst's Une Semaine de Bonté, and Firesign Theater's Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers-a necrophilological fable that, like most nightmares, is by turns horrifying, hilarious, inexplicable, and mesmerizing. Gavronsky's cracked one-liners, delivered in submarine-gun staccato, lead from clue to conundrum-who's the rich bi-handless dame? Is Lascaux really for sale? Is that a giant car-lifting magnet? Is Uzbekistan for sale? Will the Blond Bullets be rescued? And what is a guillotine doing in Columbus Circle? From one hanging cliff to the next, this novel is sexy, surreal, and very, very, weird. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Golston\u003c\/b\u003e, Columbia University\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spuyten Duyvil Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056786030832,"sku":"9781941550632","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941550632_p0.jpg?v=1763757165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941550632","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
