{"product_id":"the-palace-at-midnight-9781596066045","title":"The Palace at Midnight","description":"Somehow, for all my outward pretence of cold-eyed professionalism, all my insistence that writing is simply a job like any other, I've discovered to my surprise and chagrin that there's more than that going on around here, that I write as much out of karmic necessity and some inescapable inner need to rededicate my own skills constantly to my-what? My craft? My art? My profession? I wrote these stories because the only way of earning a living I have ever had has been by writing, but mainly, I have to admit, I wrote these stories because I couldn't not write them. Well, so be it. They involved me in a lot of hard work, but for me, at least, the results justify the toil. I'm glad I wrote them. Writing them, it turns out, was important for me, and even pleasurable, in a curiously complex after-the-fact kind of way. May they give you pleasure now too. -Robert Silverberg, from his Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Subterranean Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596066045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.07d","brand":"Robert Silverberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38606805303477,"sku":"9781596066045","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bfd21689-bbe0-4396-b859-59b5b84392f5.jpg?v=1614086482","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-palace-at-midnight-9781596066045","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
