{"product_id":"minor-angels-antoine-volodine-9780803220898","title":"Minor Angels","description":"From Antoine Volodine comes a deeply disturbing and darkly hilarious novel whose full meaning, its author asserts, will be found not in the book's pages but in the dreams people will have after reading it. In \u003ci\u003eMinor Angels\u003c\/i\u003e Volodine depicts a postcataclysmic world in which the forces of capitalism have begun to reestablish themselves. Sharply opposed to such a trend, a group of crones confined to a nursing home--all of them apparently immortal--resolves to create an avenging grandson fashioned of lint and rags. Though conjured to crush the rebirth of capitalism, the grandson is instead seduced by its charms--only to fall back into the hands of his creators, where he manages to forestall his punishment by reciting one \"narract\" a day. It is these narracts, or prose poems, that compose the text of \u003ci\u003eMinor Angels\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antoine Volodine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803220898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803220898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Antoine Volodine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986686738687,"sku":"9780803220898","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_538821b0-e922-4a6d-a5d4-fecf436e3578.jpg?v=1683284746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minor-angels-antoine-volodine-9780803220898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
