{"product_id":"agape-agape","title":"Agape Agape","description":"William Gaddis published four novels during his lifetime, immense and complex books that helped inaugurate a new movement in American letters. Now comes his final work of fiction, a subtle, concentrated culmination of his art and ideas. For more than fifty years Gaddis collected notes for a book about the mechanization of the arts, told by way of a social history of the player piano in America. In the years before his death in 1998, he distilled the whole mass into a fiction, a dramatic monologue by an elderly man with a terminal illness. Continuing Gaddis's career-long reflection on those aspects of corporate technological culture that are uniquely destructive of the arts, \u003ci\u003eAgape Agape\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning achievement from one of the indisputable masters of postwar American fiction.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47992964939965,"sku":"BS-TC0-437636","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9780142437636-HD.jpg?v=1786705779","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/agape-agape","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
