Whether non-participants in the mainstream, rebels against it, or its occasional victims, they're well practiced at recognizing the herd instinct in action. From the six-year-old girl who discovers transgressive new games to play with her glamorous cousin from England; to a decidedly unusual schoolchild inventing a novel way of getting back at playground bullies; to young women who find their love interests drifting away, seduced by conventional notions of popularity and success; to a narrator who suddenly finds herself on no ordinary train trip through the heart of Slovenia--these are characters and stories that deftly and sardonically underscore the phantom nature of \"normalcy\" itself and the risks of its tyranny for dissenters and conformists alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzana Tratnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162897141X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Suzana Tratnik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991746740479,"sku":"9781628971415","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b0b0b76-5ac4-472b-a1b0-0e0702bf7355.jpg?v=1683311993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/games-with-greta-suzana-tratnik-9781628971415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
