{"product_id":"books-falling-off-the-map-by-pico-iyer","title":"Falling Off the Map","description":"Pico Iyer is a traveller who particularly likes places that the rest of us would make a point of avoiding. This is a book about such places 'lonely places' as Iyer calls them 'the places that don't fit in'. Here is Iyer in North Korea (It had seemed, at the time, a good idea') in Argentina (five national economic plans in eight months and a 600% bank interest); in Cuba (where the hotel in Holguin offered only beer for breakfast); in Iceland (where the rock formation in the Westman Isles formerly known as Cleopatra is now known as Marge Simpson. ); in Bhutan and Vietnam and Australia. With the same wit he showed in VIDEO NIGHT IN KATHMANDU, Iyer illuminates the oddities of these places. His world is unlike anybody else's - and irresistable.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421998305553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780224037181.jpg?v=1787589302","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-falling-off-the-map-by-pico-iyer","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
