{"product_id":"red-dog","title":"Louis de Bernieres: Red Dog [2001] hardback","description":"'In early 1998 I went to Perth in Western Australia in order to attend the literature festival, and part of the arrangement was that I should go to Karratha to do their first ever literary dinner. Karratha is a mining town a long way further north. The landscape is extraordinary, being composed of vast heaps of dark red earth and rock poking out of the never-ending bush. I imagine that Mars must have a similar feel to it. I went exploring and discovered the bronze statue to Red Dog outside the town of Dampier. I felt straight away that I had to find out more about this splendid dog. A few months later I returned to Western Australia and spent two glorious weeks driving around collecting Red Dog stories and visiting the places that he knew, writing up the text as I went along. I hope my cat never finds out that I have written a story to celebrate the life of a dog.'","brand":"Bernieres, Louis De","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":46972074197331,"sku":"XV80436256172","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/bernieres-louis-de-red-dog-xv80436256172-51873774862675.jpg?v=1692298219","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/red-dog","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
