A child laborer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“The excitement of his writing,” Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, “is that he has come up with his own original forms―there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240427282632,"sku":"INGRAM-1026-0537","price":95.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiShop-27_5b99bc2b-2502-4673-b203-0aa3c84469b9.png?v=1793103134","url":"https:\/\/tintabudi.com\/products\/the-world-goes-on","provider":"Tintabudi Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
