{"product_id":"distant-sound-gert-jonke-9781564785268","title":"Distant Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003eA composer who has already given up composing - because of his inability to notate the music of the spheres - becomes increasingly fixated on capturing a mysterious, eerie, distant sound, which he soon equates with all the things he desires most: the perfect woman, the perfect city, the perfect work of art. Obsessed with his impossible quest, the man breaks out of the asylum and begins a series of comic, dreamlike, and ultimately haunting adventures as he tries to locate the source of the sound that consumes him... and instead finds the root cause of all his failures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gert Jonke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564785262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564785268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/24\/2010 pg. 34\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gert Jonke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124878012671,"sku":"9781564785268","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29b24ef9-cb74-4a30-aa6a-3e649d94a6b7.jpg?v=1687439348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/distant-sound-gert-jonke-9781564785268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
