It treats personal truth as unavailable, something that must be made up and convincing. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf the value of sharing personal stories is the successful solicitation of empathy, \u003ci\u003eFlower\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to synthesise such empathy through seemingly private anecdotes auto-generated by a believable automaton. Written in a poor style over one continuous text block, Flower equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Atkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804271748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804271742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ed Atkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46293135556863,"sku":"9781804271742","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3be69bad-865f-4b2b-b2a3-a46534df44e3.jpg?v=1730212229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flower-ed-atkins-9781804271742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
