{"product_id":"eurotrash-9781324094562","title":"Eurotrash","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom \"the great German-language writer of his generation\" (Joshua Cohen) comes the second novel of Kracht's career narrated by an eponymous \"Christian\" (the first was his best-selling 1995 debut, \u003cem\u003eFaserland\u003c\/em\u003e). Eurotrash begins in Zurich, where Christian has arrived to care for his eighty-year-old mother after her discharge from a mental institution. Reckoning with his family's dark history--his long-dead grandfather was intimately associated with and unapologetically supportive of the Nazis--and struggling to navigate the emotionally wrenching terrain of his relationship with his mother, Christian sets off on a road-trip with her. As they traverse Switzerland in a hired cab, mother and son attempt to give away her vast fortune, which they're carrying in a large plastic bag, to random strangers. By turns disturbing, disorienting, hilarious, and poignant, \u003cem\u003eEurotrash\u003c\/em\u003e tells an intensely personal and unsparingly critical story of contemporary culture; a story that shows us a writer at the pinnacle of his powers of insight and observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324094562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Christian Kracht","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589970686133,"sku":"9781324094562","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dd81c216-5898-47e6-b447-97d85eb6bc9e.jpg?v=1724734398","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/eurotrash-9781324094562","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
