{"product_id":"9781940953465","title":"A Greater Music","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Near the beginning of A Greater Music, the narrator, a young Korean writer, falls into an icy river in the Berlin suburbs, where she's been housesitting for her on-off boyfriend Joachim. This sets into motion a series of memories that move between the hazily defined present and the period three years ago when she first lived in Berlin. Throughout, the narrator's relationship with Joachim, a rough-and-ready metalworker, is contrasted with her friendship with M, an ultra-refined music-loving German teacher, whom, it is suggested, later became her lesbian lover. A novel of memories and wandering, A Greater Music blends riffs on music, language, and literature with a gut-punch of an emotional ending, establishing Bae Suah as one of the most exciting novelists working today.\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Letter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49981640016120,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":27.31,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781940953465-1.jpg?v=1783991970","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781940953465","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
