A searing and wildly entertaining love letter to New York City from the bestselling author of  Motherless Brooklyn  and  Fortress of Solitude .    Chase Insteadman, former child television star, has a new role in life-permanent guest on the Upper East Side dinner party circuit, where he is consigned to talk about his astronaut fiancee, Janice Trumbull, who is trapped on a circling Space Station. A chance encounter collides Chase with Perkus Tooth, a wily pop culture guru with a vicious conspiratorial streak and the best marijuana in town. Despite their disparate backgrounds and trajectories Chase and Perkus discover they have a lot in common, including a cast of friends from all walks of life in Manhattan.  Together and separately they attempt to define the indefinable, and enter into a quest for the most elusive of things: truth and authenticity in a city where everything has a price.  \"Full of dark humor and dazzling writing\" -- Entertainment Weekly   ","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48164490707163,"sku":"9780307277527-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7d526d44-c484-49d8-8d61-0240dd1e5aea.jpg?v=1768836680","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780307277527-secondhand-chronic-city","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
