{"product_id":"2199924","title":"Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World: A Novel","description":"185 pp. 8vo. Author's first novel. \"In his first novel, Elect Mr. Robinson For a Better World, Donald Antrim demonstrates all of the skill that critics have hailed in his subsequent work: the pitch-perfect ear, the cunning imagination, and the uncanny control of a narrative at once familiar and incandescently strange. In Pete Robinson's seaside suburban town, things have, well, fallen into disrepair. The voters have de-funded schools, the mayor has been drawn and quartered by an angry mob of townsmen, and Turtle Pond Park is stocked with claymore mines. Pete Robinson, third grade teacher with a 1:32 scale model of an Inquisition dungeon in his basement, wants to open a new school, and in his effort to do so he stumbles upon another idea: he needs to run for mayor. Uniquely hilarious, this novel is a horrifyingly insightful tale of a world not so very different from the one in which we live.\"","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12595638829126,"sku":"2199924","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2199924.jpg?v=1571422956","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/2199924","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
