{"product_id":"moggerhanger","title":"Moggerhanger - A Novel","description":"Never before published, \u003ci\u003eMoggerhanger\u003c\/i\u003e is the last novel written by iconic British writer Alan Sillitoe before his death in 2010. Originally intended as the third part in a trilogy, the first two of which, \u003ci\u003eA Start in Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLife Goes On\u003c\/i\u003e, were published in England but not in America, \u003ci\u003eMoggerhanger \u003c\/i\u003estands on its own as the last act in an amazing writer’s career, a madcap, bawdy, boisterous, and above all comic novel written in a masterly, unflinching hand, Sillitoe’s \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Michael Cullen, the narrator of \u003ci\u003eMoggerhanger\u003c\/i\u003e, is an aimless and now jobless, albeit brilliant and sophisticated, picaresque hero who always seems to end up in a pickle. Cullen finds himself in a Rolls traveling across England and Europe, between visits to his father, the ever-playful and outrageous Gilbert Blaskin, a famous writer, and Blaskin’s long-suffering girlfriend, Mabel; and a criminal boss, Moggerhanger by name, who once employed him and who now sends him on “jobs.” The cast of characters is strange and wonderful—from Labrador dogs, crazed poets, and endless women, to the members of the Green Toe Gang, rat catchers, brothel workers, and investigative journalists, to his old friend and traveling companion Sergeant Bill Straw, a former mercenary soldier. A work of style as well as high comedy, \u003ci\u003eMoggerhanger\u003c\/i\u003e will make you want to quit your job and go on the road, come what may.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50951399571744,"sku":"9781609807238","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781609807238.jpg?v=1763635130","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/moggerhanger","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
