{"product_id":"the-author-is-dead-ches-smith-9781942856306","title":"The Author is Dead","description":"\u003cp\u003eA failed suicide, a failed writer, and a failed husband, Ches is tragically depressed-that is, until he finds his muse in punk rocker\/ militia-marketer\/ free-spirited Thalia. Ches is haunted by Thalia's ghost-or perhaps a hallucination-and grows obsessed with writing her story...but due to his increasingly erratic behavior, he is quickly self-destructing. The pressures of public school IT work, a middle school revolution, an ex-wife, a crazed father, and an emotional crime spree culminate in a fantastic meta twist, creating a surprising end to this fabulously witty dark comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ches Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194285630X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942856306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Wanderlust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2019","brand":"Ches Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129670889727,"sku":"9781942856306","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_081329e0-a891-4f37-b8de-10fa2dbff2c1.jpg?v=1687465170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-author-is-dead-ches-smith-9781942856306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
