When a struggling journalist is hired to work on the spectacular exhibition that will inaugurate this exclusive new utopia, he jumps at the chance to restart a career that stopped with the death of his wife. Yet he comes to suspect that beneath the dazzling surface of this collaboration between art and power run currents of real violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the inauguration of the Floating World approaches, he finds it more difficult to distinguish dream from reality. Who is excluded from this paradise? On what traumas is it being constructed, and are they poised to return? And can art redeem us from the death of our loved ones and the end of the world? A dystopia, satire and Bildungsroman, steeped in ancient mythology and contemporary politics, The Floating World is a deeply moving, often hilarious and beautifully written debut novel that heralds an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mount Florida Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56962201289090,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781804272619.jpg?v=1791118110","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/the-floating-world","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
