{"product_id":"9780241386705","title":"The Frolic of the Beasts","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet in rural Japan shortly after World War II, The Frolic of the Beasts tells the story of a strange and utterly absorbing love triangle between a former university student, Koji; his would-be mentor, the eminent literary critic Ippei Kusakado; and Ippei's beautiful, enigmatic wife, Yuko. When brought face-to-face with one of Ippei's many marital indiscretions, Koji finds his growing desire for Yuko compels him to action in a way that changes all three of their lives profoundly. Originally published in 1961 and now available in English for the first time, The Frolic of the Beastsis a haunting examination of the various guises we assume throughout our lives, and a tale of psychological self-entrapment, seduction, and murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Yukio+Mishima\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eYukio Mishima\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yukio Mishima","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377058037923,"sku":"9780241386705","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780241386705_b0600581-71d0-40a7-8535-f1c3f857d0a9.jpg?v=1776463268","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780241386705","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
