{"product_id":"the-amusing-life-song-sokze-9781628971798","title":"The Amusing Life","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Amusing Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of over forty stories, sketches, vignettes and fables that search out the comical, even the absurd, aspects of everyday life. Along the way, the conventions and mores of work, art, nation, love and family are examined and made newly strange. Two rival countries race to raise the tallest flag. A poet receives a grant letter that's made to self-destruct. A world confederation of liars welcomes new members. Always instructive but never didactic, Song's stories are characterized by a lightness of touch that allows laughter to accompany even the darkest truths in this collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Song Sokze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628971797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628971798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Song Sokze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987968459007,"sku":"9781628971798","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad7210e0-5742-46cc-9513-8886916ce146.jpg?v=1683291883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-amusing-life-song-sokze-9781628971798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
