{"product_id":"the-assault-a-novel-pentagonia","title":"The Assault: A Novel (Pentagonia)","description":"In this, the final volume in the series of five novels that constitute his \"secret history of Cuba\", Reinaldo Arenas paints a harrowing, and at times boldly entertaining, Kafka-esque picture of a dehumanized people living in a world where homosexuality is a crime punishable by death and a cockroach hunt makes for a national holiday. Narrated by a hate-filled government torturer who has become an agent for the \"Bureau of Counterwhispering\",\" The Assault follows his travels through a blackly humorous shadowland as he winnow out whisperers, sexual deviants, and dissidents of every sort--until memory has been banished and spoken language has been nearly forgotten.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140157182\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0140157182.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hurley, Andrew|Arenas, Reinaldo|Colchie, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
