{"product_id":"delillo-don-mao-ii-9780140152746","title":"Mao II","description":"Winner of the PEN\/Faulkner Award From the author of White Noise (winner of the National Book Award) and The Silence, a profound novel about art, terror, masses, and the individual from \"one of the most intelligent, grimly funny voices to comment on life in present-day America\" (The New York Times) Bill Gray, a famous, reclusive novelist, emerges from his isolation when he becomes the key figure in an event staged to force the release of a poet hostage in Beirut. As Bill enters the world of political violence, a nightscape of Semtex explosives and hostages locked in basement rooms, Bill's dangerous passage leaves two people stranded: his brilliant, fixated assistant, Scott, and the strange young woman who is Scott's lover-and Bill's. An extraordinary novel from Don DeLillo about words and images, novelists and terrorists, the mass mind and the arch-individualist, Mao II explores a world in which the novelist's power to influence the inner life of a culture now belongs to bomb-makers and gunmen. Mao II is the work of an ingenious writer at the height of his powers.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53204656259414,"sku":"9780140152746-G","price":7.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780140152746_1_b7289ada-8bf6-4dd6-8e3d-aa864089e28c.jpg?v=1781250217","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/delillo-don-mao-ii-9780140152746","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
