{"product_id":"9781738466788","title":"The Bedevilments - John Gay","description":"Right.' She flicked the thin dress straps off her shoulders, then reached behind her back for the zip. `Let's get started, mister.'�Anthony is barely present in his own life. A failed academic career, a soul-crushing call-centre job, an Alcoholics Anonymous group he resents attending: he's checked out from all of it.�He spends the Sydney summer trying to avoid the sun, and lives only for the evenings when he can visit Emma, a sex worker at a local brothel. It's during these rented hours that Anthony finds brief moments of human connection. He can afford to see Emma maybe once a month, but he can never hold on that long. Then Emma disappears, and there's nowhere left for Anthony to hide.�By turns appalling, funny and tender, The Bedevilments is an eye-opening story about addiction, sex and anonymity.�","brand":"John Gay","offers":[{"title":"160 pages, 4 black and white photographs \/ 10\/09\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57415938474359,"sku":"9781738466788","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781738466788.jpg?v=1787910187","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781738466788","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
