{"product_id":"redefining-victory-anthony-stevens-9780995593909","title":"Redefining Victory: A Post-Truth Novel","description":"A middle-aged man leaves his wife for a younger woman... or is it to 'find out who he really is'? You've heard it all before, of course - but not like this! REDEFINING VICTORY takes a banal situation and transforms it into something harshly comic, strangely surreal and disconcertingly archetypal. How? By making the characters talk and think entirely in clichés - rather like robots in some future experiment in AI. But the setting is now, and everything in the novel is so familiar - the characters, the situations, the words used - that it becomes paradoxically alien, weird and even, at times, a little grotesque. Both as an entertaining satire on 'middle England' and as a tragicomic vision of the emotional, intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of people whose language does their thinking - and their feeling - for them, REDEFINING VICTORY will make you ask: Do we all (sometimes) mistake the right phrase for the raw truth?And it's a must for anyone who loves the English language, revealing its world-beating richness in clichés, platitudes, euphemisms and hackneyed phrases. You'll be amazed at how many expressions there are that we really ought to avoid!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0995593906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995593909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silenos Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Anthony Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435839435007,"sku":"9780995593909","price":8.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eef8df4f-a4e7-4339-a4cc-5de307900164.jpg?v=1777153049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/redefining-victory-anthony-stevens-9780995593909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
