{"product_id":"books-ice-haven-by-daniel-clowes","title":"Ice Haven","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAt long last, the paperback version of Daniel Clowes's bril­liant graphic novel, hailed by Time as another of his hilari­ously slightly off-center worlds that have a vague sense of dread about them. Kind of like where you live. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWelcome to Ice Haven  It's not as cold here as it sounds, declares Random Wilder, our reluctant guide to this sleepy Midwestern town. He's also its would-be poet laureate. Would-be, that is, were it not for the florid banalities of his archrival, Ida Wentz, pub­lished ad nauseam in the \u003ci\u003eIce Haven Daily Progress\u003c\/i\u003e. Among Wilder's other fellow Ice Havians are the love­lorn Violet Vanderplazt and Vida Wentz; the adorable interracial moppets Carmichael and Paula; the Blue Bunny, newly sprung from prison and the bitterest rabbit in town; and poor little David Goldberg, miss­ing for more than a week now. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe lives of the men and women of \u003ci\u003eIce Haven\u003c\/i\u003e are woven into a multilayered tale that, while it owes a debt to \u003ci\u003eOur Town\u003c\/i\u003e, is ultimately based on and inspired by . . . Leopold and Loeb. No kidding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly Daniel Clowes could do it and, luckily for us, he has.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419342360849,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780375714696.jpg?v=1787570043","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-ice-haven-by-daniel-clowes","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
