{"product_id":"9781773860589","title":"Music from a Strange Planet","description":"Off-beat, provocative, philosophical, Music from a Strange Planet traces the fault lines of identity and emotional attachment. Grief, tenderness, and longing soak the pages, admitting the reader into the intimate places of the heart: An awkward child envisions herself as a darkling beetle; an unemployed business analyst prefers water-walking over rebranding himself; after being kidnapped, a psychologist rejects the idea of marrying herself; and in the squatters district, a biogenetically-altered couple visits an attic to observe a large cocoon. From the ruins of a dystopian city to the inner self-created landscapes of a coma victim, this unique story collection places characters at the core of their vulnerabilities. With a masterfully crafted tone and a register that ranges from contemplative to comic, the subversive, immersive stories in this collection brim with humanity. Expect your planet to tilt a little to the strange after reading this engaging, vivid and incisive collection of stories.","brand":"Caitlin Press (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65434446922077,"sku":null,"price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781773860589.jpg?v=1789287528","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781773860589","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
