{"product_id":"once-and-future-cities-allen-ashley-9780955526886","title":"Once and Future Cities","description":"Allen Ashley's tales of Urban Fantasy are intensely surreal, savagely satirical, subtly subversive and despairingly funny. Possessed of a unique vision and a distinctive prose style, Allen Ashley exposes the absurdities of modern British society like no other writer. Every waking moment is a struggle for continued sanity and survival as we muddle thoughtlessly through this surrealist joke called civilisation. The challenges - factual, fictitious, mythical, eminently plausible - just keep on coming. Ashley demonstrates that, if you have the nose for it, apocalypse can be smelled everywhere - in the latest media circus; in the latest dubious laws or government measures; in celebrity culture or the surveillance state; in the mindsets and prejudices of the population and in the tiniest actions we all perform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen Ashley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0955526884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955526886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eibonvale Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Allen Ashley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947492311295,"sku":"9780955526886","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fa3bc5fc-d2f0-4db8-b74e-e68e6ce24f08.jpg?v=1681519054","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/once-and-future-cities-allen-ashley-9780955526886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
