{"product_id":"9781564787347","title":"The Attic (Serbian Literature)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Attic\" is Danilo Kiš's first novel. Written in 1960, published in 1962, and set in contemporary Belgrade, it explores the relationship of a young man, known only as Orpheus, to the art of writing; it also tracks his relationship with a colorful cast of characters with nicknames such as Eurydice, Mary Magdalene, Tam-Tam, and Billy Wise Ass. Rich with references to music, painting, philosophy, and gastronomy, this bohemian \"Bildungsroman\" is a laboratory of technique and style for the young Kiš--at once a depiction of life in literary Belgrade, a register of stylistic devices and themes that would recur throughout Kiš's oeuvre, and an account of one young man's quest to find a way to balance his life, his loves, and his art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52928658276661,"sku":"EB_LI0700_A01-09_DUBAI","price":66.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781564787347-1.jpg?v=1789406463","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ar\/products\/9781564787347","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
