{"product_id":"as-it-happened","title":"As it Happened","description":"\u003cp\u003eInvoluntary self-murder is a symptom of what Mathew Maddox, emeritus professor of the Drayburgh School of Fine Art, considers to be a cultural as well as a social malaise. His children gone, his wife re-married, his attempt at suicide having failed, he is drawn remorselessly through a process of rehabilitation, a search for 'purpose' which will oblige him to re-assess the dynamism of a century he assumes has failed. Even a man divided from himself is not alone. Struggling for his future are Simone, his lover and former analyst; his revered mentor, Daniel Viklund; his brother Paul and reliable sister Sarah. But against him stands his past; and above all, Eric Taylor, once his brightest student and now a convicted murderer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in UK in 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Vintage Books\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 432\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: 9780099437123\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: 0099437120\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Storey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32780388106343,"sku":null,"price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/0099437120.jpg?v=1601398361","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/as-it-happened","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
