{"product_id":"fever-of-animals-miles-allinson-9781489077769","title":"Fever of Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003e'For nearly five years I have wanted to write something about the surrealist painter Emil Bafdescu: about his paintings, one of which hangs in a little restaurant in Melbourne, and about his disappearance, which is still a mystery. But this is probably not going to be the book I imagined. Nothing has quite worked out the way I planned.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the small inheritance he received upon his father's death, Miles has come to Europe on the trail of the Romanian surrealist, who disappeared into a forest in 1967. But in trying to unravel the mystery of Bafdescu's secret life, Miles must also reckon with his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaced with a language and a landscape that remain stubbornly out of reach, and condemned to wait for someone who may never arrive, Miles is haunted by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend, Alice, and the trip they took to Venice that ended their relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUncanny, occasionally absurd, and utterly original, Fever of Animals is a beautifully written meditation on art and grief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miles Allinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43173509464307,"sku":"9781489077769","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781489077769.jpg?v=1662058154","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/fever-of-animals-miles-allinson-9781489077769","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
