{"product_id":"jerusalem-9781631494727","title":"Jerusalem","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBegging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this \"magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic\" (Guardian) by Alan Moore-the genre-defying, \"groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation\" (NPR)-takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake's eternal holy city in \"Moore's apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony\" (Entertainment Weekly). This \"brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious\" tale from the gutter is \"a massive literary achievement for our time-and maybe for all times simultaneously\" (Washington Post).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liveright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41081596674254,"sku":"9781631494727","price":29.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/files\/9781631494727_a.png?v=1729584019","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.com\/products\/jerusalem-9781631494727","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
