Ostensibly a study of a young man’s life on the eve of the Great War, it is really a bomb thrown into the world of the conventional novel, as she attempts to capture the richness and randomness of life’s encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacob Flanders is a mere point of contact between a crowd of people, appearing and disappearing in a tableau in which all is in flux, without certainty and without a controlling viewpoint. But it seems that the author could not maintain this rigorous impersonality, and the radical technique breaks down, so that we finally see Jacob as a person, just as his world is blown apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49388408963376,"sku":"BDbgg9","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/245014-bgg9-Square.jpg?v=1735219066","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bgg9","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
