Blending sixty-plus years of defiant survival into vintage Champagne, and with a voice that runs the gamut from caustic to camp, satirical to (almost) lyrical, Roddis ultimately reminds us that, however desperate the situation may appear, it's never serious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Roddis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1387774689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781387774685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"David Roddis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485069291775,"sku":"9781387774685","price":22.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d911573d-c1f5-4721-a27e-81784dddbcdd.jpg?v=1778047695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-slow-painful-death-would-david-roddis-9781387774685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
