{"product_id":"books-cosmopolis-by-don-delillo","title":"Cosmopolis","description":"The last day of the life of Eric Packer, a multi-billionaire who owns amongst others a sixty four room apartment and who has recently married one of the richest women in America. He drives around New York at a snail's pace as the city is at a standstill because the President is in town and there is a funeral of a rapper proceeding across town. On top of this is the incipient threat of riots breaking out as anti-globalisation groups get more and more heated.Packer's bodyguards are worried that he is a target and he becomes one -- but not from the rioters, from an ex-employee who wants to make his life worth something.A mesmeric tour de force of character, stylistic brilliance, intelligence and wit.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480179794193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780330412759.jpg?v=1777543493","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-cosmopolis-by-don-delillo","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
