{"product_id":"metropolitan-critic-book-clive-james-9780224042413","title":"The Metropolitan Critic","description":"The Metropolitan Critic was Clive James's first book. Originally published in 1974, by Faber, it is a collection of thirty-seven pieces from his initial period as a literary journalist. He looks at the poetry of Hughes, Lowell and Heaney, questions the travels of D. H. Lawrence and reviews the smart-set of twenty years ago. For this reissue Clive James has added an introduction and self-critical foonotes to the original text. Readers who value his books of criticism have a special affection for this first, much praised collection. For them and for all his many followers this influential book is now back in print.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509512675601,"sku":"GOR002325586","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49638964658449,"sku":"GOR002642696","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0224042416.jpg?v=1751133012","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/metropolitan-critic-book-clive-james-9780224042413","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
