It is the story of Arturo Bandini, a young writer in 1930s Los Angeles who falls hard for the elusive, mocking, unstable Camilla Lopez, a Mexican waitress. Struggling to survive, he perseveres until, at last, his first novel is published. But the bright light of success is extinguished when Camilla has a nervous breakdown and disappears . . . and Bandini forever rejects the writer's life he fought so hard to attain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082349338775,"sku":"9780060822552","price":1143.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780060822552.webp?v=1769200887","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ask-the-dust-9780060822552","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
