{"product_id":"bullfight-yasushi-inoue-author-9781805332022","title":"Bullfight","description":"\u003cp\u003eTsugami, the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in war-scarred Osaka, agrees to sponsor a bullfight. For months this great gamble consumes him, makes him as wary and combative as if he was in a ring himself. And, as he becomes ever more distant, his lover Sakiko is unsure if she would like to see him succeed or be destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs much a story of post-war Japan as it is about the country's special brand of bullfighting, this novella is a masterly exploration of hope, ambition and despair. Yasushi Inoue's novella won him the prestigious Akutagawa Prize and established him as one of Japan's most acclaimed authors. From the planning of a bullfight, through Tsugami's struggle, his focus and his solitude - he crafts something intensely memorable, a profound and compelling existential tale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yasushi Inoue (Author)","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49885387227379,"sku":"9781805332022","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781805332022.jpg?v=1783540810","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/bullfight-yasushi-inoue-author-9781805332022","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
