{"product_id":"9781399623162","title":"The Man with Many Names : From the International Booker Prize-winning author of Time Shelter - Georgi Gospodinov","description":"A WRITER OF GREAT WARMTH AS WELL AS SKILL' GUARDIANA man and a woman, who have only known each other for a few hours and must soon part, sit in an airport caf� and invent an entire shared life together. A father, wearing only his underpants, hangs laundry between two cherry trees in a tiny Bulgarian town in the 1970s and sets off a series of events that will turn absurdly historic. A woman on a train passing through the dandelion-filled central European countryside waves at everyone she passes, unaware that a single gesture can ripple through another's life like fate. A lonely drifter on a snowy New Year's Eve sees himself mirrored in a TV in a shop window, every move presumably watched by unseen millions and a world that had forgotten him. A celebrated connoisseur of sunsets returns to the town where his absurd, lucrative career began to witness the world's very last dying of the light. From the International Booker Prize-winning author Georgi Gospodinov, comes a collection of his finest short stories. Each has one eye on the past, one on the future; an ear for the crucial detail that everyone else is missing; and the ability to reveal the ever-changing, ever-beautiful world as you have never seen it before.","brand":"Georgi Gospodinov","offers":[{"title":"240 pages \/ 22\/10\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57485475479927,"sku":"9781399623162","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781399623162.jpg?v=1790154246","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781399623162","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
