It was a misguided endeavour. The world is divided into two groups, pats and quads. The pats may kill the quads as they like, and do. The quads have no recourse but to continue with their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Divers' Game\u003c\/i\u003e is a thinly veiled description of our society, an extreme case that demonstrates a truth: we must change or our world will collapse. What is the effect of constant fear on a life, or on a culture? Brilliantly constructed and achingly tender, \u003ci\u003eThe Divers' Game\u003c\/i\u003e shatters the notion of common decency as the binding agent between individuals, forcing us to consider whether compassion is intrinsic to the human experience. With his signature empathy and ingenuity, Jesse Ball's latest work solidifies his reputation as one of contemporary fiction's most mesmerising talents.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185110298782,"sku":"UBD-9781922268266","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922268266.jpg?v=1787485563","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922268266","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
