{"product_id":"marys-boy-jean-jacques-vincent-osullivan-9781776920006","title":"Mary's Boy, Jean Jacques","description":"In Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, we last see Dr Frankenstein's Creature shunned by human society and crossing the Arctic wasteland. What if he were rescued by an eccentric English expedition intent on sailing from pole to pole and back - only to be cast away again in a remote fiord in Aotearoa's deep south? This intriguing speculation ignites the novella that lies at the heart of Vincent O'Sullivan's electrifying new story collection\u003ci\u003e Mary's Boy, Jean-Jacques\u003c\/i\u003e. Elsewhere, O'Sullivan takes us deep into other times and minds. Two siblings relive a sinister memory of their childhood, an isolated young man learns to walk around the city alone, a Victorian adventurer purchases a human head, and always there is memory, like 'Stonehenge from a choice of angles'. O'Sullivan's new stories are wry, humane, unsparing, essential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent O'Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1776920007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776920006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Vincent O'Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217543540991,"sku":"9781776920006","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab30da7c-3dc1-430a-9caa-c5e418c52eb6.jpg?v=1771997896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marys-boy-jean-jacques-vincent-osullivan-9781776920006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
