A fighter leads his band of virtual warriors, thieves, and wizards across a deadly computer-generated landscape, but does he have what it takes to be a hero? . . . A company outsources grief for profit, its slogan: \"Don't feel like having a bad day? Let someone else have it for you.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from both pop culture and science, Charles Yu is a brilliant observer of contemporary society, and in \u003ci\u003eSorry Please Thank You\u003c\/i\u003e he fills his stories with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and piercing insight into the human condition. He has already garnered comparisons to such masters as Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, and in this new collection we have resounding proof that he has arrived (via a wormhole in space-time) as a major new voice in American fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Yu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307948463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307948465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/09\/2013 pg. 32","brand":"Charles Yu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045986627839,"sku":"9780307948465","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0b649dd-8b92-4279-9904-abcd8562be94.jpg?v=1684981953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sorry-please-thank-you-charles-yu-9780307948465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
