As Mac embarks on  this task, he finds that the stories have a strange way of imitating  life. Or is life imitating the stories? As the novel progresses, Mac  becomes stranger and more adrift from reality, and both he and we become  ever more immersed in literature: a literature haunted by death, but  alive with the sheer pleasure of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214233202943,"sku":"9788466344852","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9788466344852_s600x595.jpg?v=1782150666","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9788466344852","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
