{"product_id":"pilgermann-valancourt-20th-century-classics-russell-hoban-9781941147825","title":"Pilgermann (Valancourt 20th Century Classics)","description":"After Pilgermann, a German Jew in the year 1096, ravishes the tax collector's wife, an angry Christian mob retaliates by brutally castrating him. Bleeding and left for dead, Pilgermann experiences a vision of Jesus Christ and resolves to set out on a journey to the Holy Land. Along the way, he will be joined by a motley group of companions: the headless corpse of the tax collector, a lascivious talking pig, a dead bear, and Death himself. In the story of Pilgermann's quest, by turns funny and nightmarish, Russell Hoban is at his most original and most imaginative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'Superb ...
