A traveler, reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi, encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on the nature of a single drop of water. A child laborer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. \u003cem\u003eThe World Goes On\u003c\/em\u003e is another amazing masterpiece by the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. \"The excitement of his writing,\" Adam Thirwell proclaimed in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e, \"is that he has come up with this own original forms--there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.1 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 05, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44304598270054,"sku":"9780811224192","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/RU9NRlArNCtUbDk3WU5nditFRXEwdz09.webp?v=1767614147","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-world-goes-on-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
