{"product_id":"the-cockroach-1","title":"The Cockroach","description":"A brilliant, of-the-moment political satire like no other, from the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement. Kafka meets the world of Brexit in this bitingly funny novel centered on a cockroach transformed into the prime minister of England.\n\nThat morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant creature.\n\nJim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain--and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way; not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.\n\nIn this bitingly funny Kafkaesque satire, Ian McEwan engages with scabrous humor a very recognizable political world and turns it on its head.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593082427\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593082427.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McEwan, Ian\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
