{"product_id":"spitshine-michael-botur-9781508840206","title":"Spitshine: Short stories","description":"The author of 'MEAN' and 'Hot Bible!' spins 16 new yarns. It's literary fiction, told by bad buggers. The theme of Spitshine is comparable to the mission of journalists: to 'Afflict the comfortable; comfort the afflicted.' Early reviews of 'Spitshine' responded to the book thus: \"16 short stories from a writer considered one of the most original story writers of his generation in New Zealand. It is a generous selection of work: smart, wry, humorous and very stylish.\" - Patricia Prime, Takahe 86 \"Heartbreaking and heartwarming. Like in his previous collection 'Mean, ' Botur uses authentic street language and slang to perfectly portray real life.\" - Rebekah Fraser, NZ Booklovers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Botur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1508840202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508840206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Michael Botur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459162550527,"sku":"9781508840206","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3666a1dd-cbca-440d-befe-c2ee34d88f63.jpg?v=1777408294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spitshine-michael-botur-9781508840206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
