{"product_id":"the-maimed-9788086264134","title":"The Maimed","description":"Called by Thomas Mann a \"sexual hell\" as well as \"pure artistry,\" The Maimed is set in Prague and relates the story of a highly neurotic, socially inept bank clerk who is eventually forced to have sexual relations with his widowed landlady. At the same time he must witness the steady physical and mental deterioration of his lifelong friend who is suffering from an unnamed disease. Part psychological farce, Ungar tells a dark, ironic tale of chaos overtaking one's meticulously ordered life. Having died young, Ungar wrote only two novels, in addition to a handful of plays and short stories; this is the first time his work has appeared in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twisted Spoon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788086264134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.66h x 5.64w x 0.81d","brand":"Hermann Ungar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52147081511093,"sku":"9788086264134","price":12.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d2cd6c8a-b80a-4947-95ee-df908f4de5d0.jpg?v=1767678774","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-maimed-9788086264134","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
