{"product_id":"a-surplus-of-sadness","title":"A Surplus of Sadness: but wait there's more...","description":"A collection of sad stories written funnily\r\nThere’             s no shortage of sadness. There’             s no blaming those who succumb to omnipresent gloom. It’             s today’             s pervasive emotional climate.\r\nHowever, there’             s also enough laughter to go around. At least laughter that comes with a knowing wink, in camaraderie with the many prone to sadnesses.\r\nThis collection of nineteen short stories hopes to make you laugh. That is: Despite the planet heating up. Despite the constant threat of fascism and disinformation. Despite empires disguised as good guys. Despite neoliberalism’             s false promises and the ruthless competition it demands. Despite the persistent clout of capitalism, unrelenting in its dominion over life, over happiness.\r\nDespite, perhaps, a lack of exercise.\r\nBy the end of the book, laughter finds a purpose, a place in the collective, aware of its rightful target. From sadness to laughter to indignation.\r\nBut wait there’             s more.\r\nCheers.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46435648995538,"sku":"9789815127829","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_64d557b8-d18b-49da-bf57-2387df2495cd.jpg?v=1763635083","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/a-surplus-of-sadness","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
