{"product_id":"9781648211744","title":"Stranger Beauty : A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet in a future that grows more plausible by the day, Stranger Beauty asks what traces will remain after a life has ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are novels that describe consciousness and novels that enact it. Stranger Beauty is of the latter. With its narrative spun out of three notebooks, an embedded screenplay, and a final monologue delivered by an AI that has legally consumed a dead man's life's work, Matthew Gasda's formally daring prose carries a powerful emotional resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe architecture of the novel is not a stunt. Each section burrows, dreamlike, into a single psyche through repetition, contradiction, and the slow surfacing of things that were never meant to be seen. A marriage as alchemy. A brother lost to madness who emerges as the moral center of everything. And an artificial rendering of a man that speaks with more honesty than the living ever managed to accomplish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn ambitious and original novel, Stranger Beauty is also deeply heartbreaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48997070405867,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":76.14,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781648211744","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
