{"product_id":"king-of-the-city-z25","title":"Michael Moorcock: King of the City [2016] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoorcock's second great London novel - and thematic sequel to MOTHER LONDON - returns to print in a newly revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe death of Princess Di heralded a spring clean of the soul.  And the  dirt we wanted off our coffee tables was the kind of salacious exposure  tabloid paparazzo photographer Denny Dover had made a fortune out of.   Now he's out of work and moving to the godforsaken wastes of Skerring on  the South coast to lick his wounds.  A former rock star, this East End lad-made-good lived it up with the  best of them.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut his childhood friend, hugely wealthy magnate Sir John  Barbican-Begg (deceased, allegedly) is resurrecting events from a past  littered with dysfunction and greed, sex, rock and roll and a ton of  drugs.  Denny's life encapsulates the fevered underground of a London  teeming with contradiction and ambivalence, subversion and rage.  Moorcock's hugely entertaining follow-up to his masterpiece MOTHER  LONDON captured the spirit of our age as we staggered into the new  millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moorcock, Michael","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42043423948985,"sku":"9781473213272","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/moorcock-michael-michael-moorcock-king-of-the-city-2016-paperback-9781473213272-60440433164627.jpg?v=1734412982","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/king-of-the-city-z25","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
