That is, until he receives a mysterious death threat in the mail. Terrified at first, Levin soon becomes accustomed to the threat—and then, increasingly, delighted with it, thrilled with his newfound importance as a “threatened man.” But as his obsession with maintaining this identity becomes all-consuming, he risks blinding himself to the twin dangers of the threat itself and—perhaps worse—his own deranged mind.\u003cbr\u003eAt once absurdist, moving, and savagely funny,\u003ci\u003e The Threat\u003c\/i\u003e is a timeless parable of the comic lengths to which people go to protect the delusions that validate them.","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54004753596760,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781684429707.jpg?v=1765291535","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-threat-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
