{"product_id":"camera-9781564785220","title":"Camera","description":"In this improbable love story, Toussaint creates a character who is obsessed with himself: how he does things and all the ways he might have done them, how he thinks, why he thinks the way that he thinks, how he might do or think otherwise. What happens? He takes driving lessons, goes grocery shopping, spends endless hours with an adorable employee of the driving school he attends. And though he is aloof, though caught up in his own actions and in the movement of his own thoughts--he somehow emerges as surprisingly insightful and also very funny. In Toussaint's touching novel, we come to know this character intimately and yet know almost nothing about him. These two extremes, existing together, are at the heart of Toussaint's remarkable style.\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\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564785220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.96h x 5.04w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2008 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2008 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2008 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2008 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2008 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jean-Philippe Toussaint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659934724252,"sku":"9781564785220","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d7572cf3-fe73-4458-a167-85f0f280cb0b.jpg?v=1603895722","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/camera-9781564785220","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
