{"product_id":"nothing-lasting-laura-solomon-9789386897381","title":"Nothing Lasting","description":"Nothing Lasting is the tale of a nice normal middle class pyromaniac. Egged on by his bossy mother he is under pressure from her ghost to make the family name by lighting fires up and down an unspecified country, where all the place names are taken from a map of Antarctica, and thus enter history. The narrator's father is a hopeless electrician who lives through long periods of unemployment. His mother, when alive, was in and out of psychiatric hospitals. The narrator is disturbed in his mind and lights fires in what he imagines to be acts of revenge for the times he feels he has been wronged by others in his life. The novel contains strong elements of surrealism and is a black comedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9386897385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789386897381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woven Words Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Laura Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126104846591,"sku":"9789386897381","price":6.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a50dd605-2fbe-4705-aa80-fbc99bc8923e.jpg?v=1687446304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nothing-lasting-laura-solomon-9789386897381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
