Thus begins a 15-year quest that forever threatens to teeter into the absurd. Far from being another self-congratulatory writer's memoir, The Clandestine Novelist is a reminder that the pursuit of art sometimes carries a ludicrous price.\"The Clandestine Novelist is a hilarious novel with a sharply ironic edge. Mike Benjamin, the narrator, must find his way in a world that makes its artists heroes at the same time it abandons them. This is a contradiction that haunts all the Yossarians of our society.\"-Tony Trigilio, author of 'Strange Prophecies Anew': Rereading Apocalypse in Blake, H.D., and Ginsberg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932922741024,"sku":"NEW0595295711","price":14.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61V7QaCJExL.jpg?v=1792740357","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-clandestine-novelist-0595295711","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
