Instead, he receives an unexpected offer of freedom working in the experimental utopian city of Duma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwed by the city's dramatic architecture but confused by the other residents' strange behavior, Zelnik searches for his long-lost uncle who emigrated to Duma before him. His wanderings reunite him with Miriana Grannoff, an exiled avant-garde artist who was once his teacher. Her memorial installations hidden around the city equally enchant and repel him. And gradually, they begin to reveal a truth: Duma is not the workers' paradise it pretends to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8 x 5.35 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752616591648,"sku":"9781941360811","price":20.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1a3cc046d2cad3e46dc13e2048442e67.webp?v=1780000088","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-brutal-design-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
