In a world where your name is currency, it's tough to make ends meet. It's even tougher when you share a name with a rising pop star. The city is unbearable--endless high-rises, social climbers left and right, and nothing but names as far as the eye can see. But Manel is looking a little bit farther, just beyond the horizon, and she's even convinced her buddy Ali of how much more could be lying in wait right outside city limits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen a sudden heart attack induced by diminished name recognition foils Manel's plans, gradual change becomes a catalyst for a complete lifestyle overhaul. This stylish, absurd comedy of contemporary manners skewers the human condition in persistent self-promo. Sharp, architectural lines are accented by decisively mellow hues, building a humorously grim world unexpectedly bathed in nothing but light. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn exciting debut from a fresh perspective, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e showcases newcomer L饌 Murawiec's command of comics language and satirizes a sprawling metropolis, its politics, and its extraordinary inhabitants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated by Aleshia Jensen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L饌 Murawiec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770466770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770466777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.87h x 7.72w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/20\/2023","brand":"L饌 Murawiec","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128729530623,"sku":"9781770466777","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45474648293631,"sku":"9781770466777","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1733e17c-c9ac-42c0-aa33-3451d2a898c6.jpg?v=1687460219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-beyond-la-murawiec-9781770466777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
