{"product_id":"9781415205525","title":"The Folly","description":"\u003cp\u003e'YOU CAN'T RUSH THE BUILDING OF A NEW HOUSE. YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE WHOLE THING CLEAR IN THE MIND'S EYE.'\u003cbr\u003eMr and Mrs Malgas are going quietly about their lives when an eccentric squatter called Nieuwenhuizen arrives on the vacant plot next to their home and plans to build an elaborate mansion. Slowly, Father, as Nieuwenhuizen likes to be called, draws Mr Malgas into his grand scheme, while Mrs Malgas keeps an anxious watch from her lounge window.\u003cbr\u003eWhen The Folly first appeared it was read as an evocative allegory on the rise and fall of apartheid. Twenty years on, this remarkably open text is sure to strike a new set of chords.\u003cbr\u003eGrimly humorous and playfully serious, Ivan Vladislavić's classic first novel is a comic and philosophical masterpiece.\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+Ivan+Vladislavi%C3%A7\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eIvan Vladislaviç\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ivan Vladislaviç","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375678931107,"sku":"9781415205525","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781415205525_cc0a9785-f8bf-4a5a-81b8-e9d73fc13ad7.jpg?v=1776531210","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781415205525","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
