{"product_id":"guerrillas-v-s-naipaul-9781035091492","title":"Guerrillas","description":"Set on a troubled Caribbean island - where Asians, Africans, Americans and former British colonials co-exist in a state of suppressed hysteria - Guerrillas is a novel of colonialism and revolution. A white man arrives with his mistress, an Englishwoman influenced by fantasies of native power and sexuality, unaware of the consequences of her actions.\nTogether with a leader of the ‘revolution’, they act out a gripping drama of death, sexual violence, and spiritual impotence. Guerrillas depicts a convulsion in public life, and ends in private violence. Place and people are evoked with an intensity unrivalled elsewhere. The novel comes with extraordinary force from the centre of a profound moral awareness of the world’s plight.\n‘Remarkable . . . Guerrillas is a brilliant novel in every way, and it shimmers with artistic certainty’ – The New York Times\n‘Impeccable prose, precise, austere . . . Guerrillas seems to me Naipaul’s Heart of Darkness: a brilliant artist’s anatomy of emptiness, and of despair’ – Observer\nNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52339022397728,"sku":"9781035091492","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781035091492_3094194.jpg?v=1789111472","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/guerrillas-v-s-naipaul-9781035091492","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
