{"product_id":"affairs-of-a-cardiovascular-nature-terry-grimwood-9781913766023","title":"Affairs of a Cardiovascular Nature","description":"Terry Grimwood is an author who has made a name for himself with his very powerful, human and wide-ranging fiction, covering horror, speculative, dystopian and other styles. This mini-collection gathers together some of his more innovative and experimental short fiction from all across that range. The title story is a grotesquely hilarious, absurdist and very British tale of love, intrigue and the exchange of hearts that reads like a post-modern PG Wodehouse fever-dream. It is joined by a collection of miniatures in the form of monologues or dialogues, ranging from a dystopian sales pitch and the political horrors revealed through a farcically unnerving interrogation, to a quiet restaurant meeting where the topic of discussion could hardly be greater or more shattering. Affairs of a Cardiovascular Nature is an unusual example of British slipstream writing, a complex and bittersweet confection that deserves to be taken slowly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Grimwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913766020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913766023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eibonvale Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Terry Grimwood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431436144895,"sku":"9781913766023","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_665c2a9a-9ac2-4886-b342-d4e3da135b08.jpg?v=1735141316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/affairs-of-a-cardiovascular-nature-terry-grimwood-9781913766023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
