{"product_id":"visiting-mrs-nabokov-and-other-excursions","title":"Visiting Mrs Nabokov And Other Excursions","description":"\u003cp\u003eFuelled by innumerable cigarettes, Martin Amis provides dazzling portraits of contemporaries and mentors alike: Larkin and Rushdie; Greene and Pritchett; Ballard and Burgess and Nicholson Baker; John Updike - warts and all. Vigorously zipping across to Washington, he exposes the double-think of nuke-speak; in New Orleans the Republican Convention gets a going over. And then there's sport: he visits the world of darts and its disastrous attempt to clean itself up; dirty tricks in the world of chess; and some brisk but vicious poker with Al Alvarez and David Mamet.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Sex without Madonna, expulsion from school, a Stones gig that should have been gagged, on set with Robocop or on court with Gabriela Sabatini, this is Martin Amis at his electric best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2005\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Vintage Books\u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr\u003e Pages: 274\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9780099461876\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 0099461870\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Amis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614460735754,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781529097962_294f297b-9cef-4bc4-94e7-a762efe525e3.jpg?v=1687680339","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/visiting-mrs-nabokov-and-other-excursions","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
