{"product_id":"im-gone-jean-echenoz-9781595589996","title":"I'm Gone","description":"Winner of France's prestigious Prix Goncourt and a runaway bestseller, Jean Echenoz's \u003ci\u003eI'm Gone\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal introduction to the sly wit, unique voice, and colorful imagination of \"the master magician of the contemporary French novel\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e). Nothing less than a heist caper, an Arctic adventure story, a biting satire of the art world, and a meditation on love and lust and middle age all rolled into one fast-paced, unpredictable, and deliriously entertaining novel, \u003ci\u003eI'm Gone\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of an urbane art and antiques dealer who abandons his wife and career to pursue a memorably pathetic international crime spree. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Crisp and erudite\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e), \"seductive and delicately ironic\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e), and with an unexpected sting in its tail, \u003ci\u003eI'm Gone\u003c\/i\u003e--translated by Mark Polizzotti--is a dazzling, postmodern subversion of narrative conventions and an amused look at the absurdities of modern life. With a wink and a nod and a keen eye for the droll detail, Echenoz invites the reader \"to enjoy \u003ci\u003eI'm Gone\u003c\/i\u003e in the same devil-may-care spirit in which it is offered\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Sunday Globe\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Echenoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595589996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595589996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014","brand":"Jean Echenoz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986985419007,"sku":"9781595589996","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a96955be-9513-40ef-b76d-49447dc15b8e.jpg?v=1683286327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/im-gone-jean-echenoz-9781595589996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
