The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n There’s “Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)”, a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. “Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)” is a first-person account of a family’s history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in “From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco).”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n When read together, however, a third world emerges—a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected “journey across all genres” (Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of \u003ci\u003eUnbury Our Dead with Song\u003c\/i\u003e) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46594786590878,"sku":"HPC-9781668012468","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781668012468.jpg?v=1773115158","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781668012468","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
