{"product_id":"trick","title":"Trick","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharp, succinct storytelling and breathtaking prose combine in this new novel by the author of Ties, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and a Kirkus Reviews and Sunday Times Best Book of the Year.Trick is a stylish drama about ambition, family, and old-age that goes beyond the ordinary and predictable. Imagine a duel between two men. One, Daniele Mallarico, is a successful illustrator who, in the twilight of his years, feels that his reputation and his artistic prowess are fading. The other, Mario, is Daniele's four-year-old grandson. Daniele has been living in a cold northern city for years, in virtual solitude, focusing obsessively on his work, when his daughter asks if he would come to Naples for a few days and babysit Mario while she and her husband attend a conference. Shut inside his childhood home―an apartment in the center of Naples that is filled with the ghosts of Mallarico's past―grandfather and grandson match wits as Daniele heads toward a reckoning with his own ambitions and life choices.Outside the apartment, pulses Naples, a wily, violent, and passionate city whose influence can never be shaken.Trick is a gripping, brilliantly devised drama, \"an extremely playful literary composition,\" as Jhumpa Lahiri describes it in her introduction, by the Strega Prize-winning novelist whom many consider to be one of Italy's greatest living writers.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 135 x 208\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Domenico Starnone\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781609454449\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45790856446105,"sku":"17RA-19781609454449","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/68edefd1dad30_Trick_Domenico_Starnone.jpg?v=1760460631","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/trick","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
