{"product_id":"perlmans-ordeal-a-novel","title":"Perlman's Ordeal: A Novel","description":"New York Times Notable Book of the Year\n\nOne evening in London in 1906, Dr. August Perlman--classical music lover, hashish devotee, and a scrupulously scientific pioneer of \"clinical suggestion\" (or hypnotism)--is about to leave for the symphony when a hysterical teenage girl is brought into his office. It seems that another girl's personality is living inside her. Eventually, in a time just before the age of Freud, a charismatic imposter (Madame Barrett, a \"spiritualist\") and the pioneering doctor must fight a heated battle over this teenager's soul. This novel, as The New York Times Book Review so aptly put it, is \"extravagantly, even bewilderingly inventive . . . [and] crammed with the stuff of dreams.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312267657\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0312267657.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hansen, Brooks\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
