Lakhous draws inspiration from everyday reality, describing his approach to writing as total literature, a term he has adapted from soccer's total football. He plays in attack, describing in this work the realities of an Italy of the future with colorful characters portrayed in limpid but lively prose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amara Lakhous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609453093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609453091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Europa Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Amara Lakhous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984584966399,"sku":"9781609453091","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24574465-e4b4-48ab-b9cd-f54e05a275be.jpg?v=1683273103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prank-of-the-good-amara-lakhous-9781609453091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
