{"product_id":"the-manual-of-detection-1","title":"The Manual of Detection","description":"\"This debut novel weaves the kind of mannered fantasy that might result if Wes Anderson were to adapt Kafka.\" --The New Yorker\n\nReminiscent of imaginative fiction from Jorge Luis Borges to Jasper Fforde yet dazzlingly original, The Manual of Detection marks the debut of a prodigious young talent.\n\nCharles Unwin toils as a clerk at a huge, imperious detective agency located in an unnamed city always slick with rain. When Travis Sivart, the agency's most illustrious detective, is murdered, Unwin is suddenly promoted and must embark on an utterly bizarre quest for the missing investigator that leads him into the darkest corners of his soaking, somnolent city.\n\nWhat ensues is a noir fantasy of exquisite craftsmanship, as taut as it is mind-blowing, that draws readers into a dream world that will change what they think about how they think.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143116517\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0143116517.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Berry, Jedediah\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.
