{"product_id":"334","title":"334","description":"If Charles Dickens had written speculative fiction, he might have created a novel as intricate, passionate, and lacerating as Thomas M. Disch's visionary portrait of the underbelly of 21st-century New York City. The residents of the public housing project at 334 East 11th Street live in a world of rationed babies and sanctioned drug addiction. Real food is displayed in museums and hospital attendants moonlight as body-snatchers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNimbly hopscotching backward and forward in time, Disch charts the shifting relationships between this world's inheritors: an aging matriarch who falls in love with her young social worker; a widow seeking comfort from the spirit of her dead husband; a privileged preteen choreographing the perfectly gratuitous murder. Poisonously funny, piercingly authentic, \u003ci\u003e334\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterpiece of social realism disguised as science fiction.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833696989389,"sku":"9780375705441","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_9af50e70-2f9e-4d75-818c-81ca78fc2ba9.jpg?v=1790894403","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/334","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
