{"product_id":"the-chimera-of-prague","title":"The Chimera of Prague","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Compelling, vivid, hard to put down.\" - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this contemporary romance tell-all that blurs the line between commercial and literary fiction, Joseph is a twenty-something American living in Prague, the Czech Republic.  He calls it a Ògap yearÓ; for Joseph itÕs a gap between his devastating divorce, and his uncertain future.\u003cbr\u003e\nLiving in this magically romantic city, Joseph obsesses over a waitress.  If it werenÕt for the kaleidoscope of distracting women, he might have a shot with Karina, the tall slender Czech model-wannabe.  He keeps a journal, and finds himself digging through fragments of memory to try and discover where things went wrong in his first love.  The story-within-the-story uses geology as a clue to where exactly he lost his way.  An ode to Western New York, peppered with 80Õs pop culture references, creates a tumultuous rendering of love lost. The journey was never to find someone he could love, but rather to unearth a way to love himself again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rick Pryll","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45997031686305,"sku":"9780974505671","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1y8j49nv-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1777334328","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-chimera-of-prague","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
