{"product_id":"americas-magic-mountain-9781564783691","title":"America's Magic Mountain","description":"\u003cp\u003eFilled with many compelling, outrageous, and comic voices, White's novel is disturbing, charming, and biting. Curtis White's new novel begins with Mann's \"unassuming young man,\" Hans Castorp, visiting his cousin at a health retreat. In this book, though, the retreat is a spa for recovering alcoholics, totally unlike all other rehab centres. Rather than encouraging their patients to free themselves from addiction, the directors of The Elixir believe that sobriety isn't for everyone, that you must let alcohol work its way on you. It is about a weird and unlikely world that, nevertheless, is quite recognisable as our own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564783691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.06w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 938\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/18\/2004 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2004 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curtis White","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916257882293,"sku":"9781564783691","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_901beef3-4bd2-4c42-b538-c71625743797.jpg?v=1734449656","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/americas-magic-mountain-9781564783691","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
