{"product_id":"the-swimmingpool-library","title":"The SwimmingPool Library","description":"\u003cp\u003eA literary sensation and bestseller both in England and America, The SwimmingPool Library is an enthralling, darkly erotic novel of homosexuality before the scourge of AIDS; an elegy, possessed of chilling clarity, for ways of life that can no longer be lived with impunity. Impeccably composed and meticulously particular in its observation of everything (Harpers \u0026amp; Queen), it focuses on the friendship of two men: William Beckwith, a young gay aristocrat who leads a life of privilege and promiscuity, and the elderly Lord Nantwich, an old Africa hand, searching for someone to write his biography and inherit his traditions.From the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Hollinghurst, Alan \/ hardcover","offer_id":47834888470773,"sku":"SONG0394570251","price":16.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71FvueQef7L.jpg?v=1773669436","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/the-swimmingpool-library","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
