{"product_id":"doctor-fischer-of-geneva-or-the-bomb-party","title":"Doctor Fischer of Geneva or the Bomb Party","description":"\u003cp\u003eGraham Greene's 1980 novel is one of his slighter entertainments, in which a wealthy toothpaste magnate humiliates his dinner guests for sport until the dynamic collapses. The title party involves a garden game with explosives, played by people who need the host's money more than they fear losing fingers. The novel is short, bitter, and out of fashion; this only makes it more interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon \u0026amp; Schuster's edition presents the book in a straightforward hardcover format. Greene wrote it near the end of his life, and the disgust with wealth and piety feels personal. For readers who take their morality tales with a splash of acid, and who find Greene most honest when he is being nasty rather than when he is being pious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48479551652052,"sku":"0671254677","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780671254674.jpg?v=1786815184","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/doctor-fischer-of-geneva-or-the-bomb-party","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
