{"product_id":"eternity-john-fraser-9781914938368","title":"Eternity","description":"\u003cb\u003eETERNITY \u003c\/b\u003econcludes the long series of tales, novellas and novels by John Fraser as he explores the multitude of forms of human life - outside the canon and within, clinging to unreliable memories, confessions by the innocent and forgetful, rhodomontades by the marginal and discarded. Sometimes the hold on life seems lost, always precarious. It's not an easy ride - transferring from donkey, horse and Lamborghini to camel, dromedary and - mostly - foot and bus. Always central, always traduced, and disappointed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eAfter Life\u003c\/b\u003e Nietzsche has a walk-on part, though one can hear Marx - old Karl - scribbling in the wings. Here and back again - as in music, so in life and afterwards. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eShards\u003c\/b\u003e is a kind of memoir - a scramble of memories by the senile, and then the chivvying by new protagonists to whom the past and present must be junked. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaving\u003c\/b\u003e shows how our fumble with reality, disaster and survival provides us with enough uncertainty to hazard a fresh through - naturally, of liar dice. The whole is unpalatable, for sure - does it assist us to be modest, circumspect? Or quite the opposite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914938364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914938368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aesop Modern, an Imprint of Aesop Publication\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d","brand":"John Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800604422399,"sku":"9781914938368","price":17.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eternity-john-fraser-9781914938368","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
