{"product_id":"tynset-wolfgang-hildesheimer-9781628971422","title":"Tynset","description":"\u003ci\u003eTynset\u003c\/i\u003e takes place during a sleepless night, but as the work unfolds it becomes apparent that the circumstances of the immediate present serve merely as points of departure. Plagued by incessant rumination, the narrator's restless mind spins thread after thread of thought, fantasy, and memory into an elaborate tapestry spanning centuries and covering thousands of miles--all without the narrator ever leaving his house. Hildesheimer famously refused to describe \u003ci\u003eTynset\u003c\/i\u003e as a novel; instead, he chose to think of the work as an extended monologue whose structure derives from the musical rondo form, with the recurrence of the titular Norwegian town functioning as a refrain. The novel was awarded the 1966 Bremen Literature Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Hildesheimer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628971428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971422\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 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2016 pg. 16","brand":"Wolfgang Hildesheimer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987968426239,"sku":"9781628971422","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b83da4b-1404-407f-8cb9-e579a9ee2613.jpg?v=1683291882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tynset-wolfgang-hildesheimer-9781628971422","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
