He describes these pieces as \"poetic essences\" -- sometimes even as \"poems, without all the poetry getting in the way.\" Some are deep, some clever, some funny, some all three. The best, he says, should read like common-sense statements that have never actually been expressed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilt out of more than 450 short statements, \u003ci\u003eQuick\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of thoughts and ruminations, any one of which could be an entire poem but instead has been compressed into a single profundity. Following his bestselling \u003ci\u003eGlimpse\u003c\/i\u003e, Murray continues to explore a wide range of themes: from deep existential disquiet to the comforts of the meaning of belief; from what it means to be alive to how the world deals with hate, love, the sublime, and the ridiculous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770413812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770413818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Misfit Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"George Murray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440014373119,"sku":"9781770413818","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f671e2c-b132-4865-8d51-c3161f7c08d2.jpg?v=1777180092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quick-george-murray-9781770413818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
