{"product_id":"9781646051724","title":"Clandestinity","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this four-story suite, a modern master of Italian literature delves into the wonder and strangeness of the human condition. Eerie, fabulist, and elegant, each of Moresco’s stories features a central character at a different time of his life: childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. In these beautiful and unsettling narratives, a dreamlike logic governs a vivid and strange physical world. In “Blue Room,” the adolescent protagonist carries on a voyeuristic relationship with a blind old woman in a mysterious house. In “The Hole,” a young boy becomes fascinated by an outhouse toilet, a portal through which he observes bodily wastes, curiosities, and portents. In the title story, an act of violence deepens the nightmarish tones and mood of disorientation. And in “The King,” a child narrator—who may or may not be present—witnesses a horrific visit from an exiled ruler. Full of bodily parts, functions, and desires, Moresco’s stories distort time and reality to summon a world of carnal immediacy and uncanny haziness. A spectral and unnerving work of art, expertly translated by Richard Dixon, Clandestinity is a testament to Moresco’s genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48264100118763,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":29.2,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781646051724-1.jpg?v=1781696888","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781646051724","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
