false 28653 13 Set in Melbourne, Australia, during the economic rationalistic 1990s, it is offers much commentary on our obsession with materialistic goods and the soulless nature of business and its pursuit of ever-increasing profit regardless of the environmental or social consequences. But it is also a look at how love can conquer all -- as long as you have more than $3 to your name. From celebrated author Elliot Perlman, <i>Three Dollars</i> is the deft, passionate portrait of a man coming to terms with his place in an increasingly hostile and corporate world, while struggling to retain his humanity, his heart, and his sense of humor. 1184304 1998 Three Dollars total:183|5:18|4:66|3:58|2:34|1:7| 183 603 266 34 28653 1594482381 9781594482380 170 31 3.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167954425m/28653.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28653.Three_Dollars 0 1 false Tue Oct 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 09:13:31 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 12:30:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 28653 1594482381 9781594482380 170 31 3.30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167954425m/28653.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28653.Three_Dollars 5 1 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Tue Aug 14 17:42:14 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 18:24:15 -0700 2007 The Age "Book of the Year" award.
