{"product_id":"vulgar-things-book-lee-rourke-9780007542536","title":"Vulgar Things","description":"The second novel from Lee Rourke, author of the cult hit ‘The Canal’.             Jon Michaels – a divorced, disaffected and fatigued editor living a nondescript life in North London – wakes one morning to a phone call informing him that his uncle has been found dead in his caravan on Canvey Island. Dismissed from his job only the day before and hung-over, Jon reluctantly agrees to sort through his uncle’s belongings and clear out the caravan. What follows is a quixotic week on Canvey as Jon, led on by desire and delusion, purposeful but increasingly disorientated, unfolds a disturbing secret, ever more enchanted by the island – its landscape and its atmosphere.             Haunted and haunting, ‘Vulgar Things’ is part mystery, part romance, part odyssey: a novel in which the menial entrances and the banal compels.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599233065233,"sku":"GOR006998294","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52632174919953,"sku":"GOR008133989","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53026902769937,"sku":"GOR008456215","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007542534.jpg?v=1751289043","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/vulgar-things-book-lee-rourke-9780007542536","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
