Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for This Riot explores the limits of kindness, the weight of being needed, and the fear of being misunderstood. A group counselor is taunted by a truth-divining piano bench, a voice actor shouts her abortion at the state capitol, a tired caregiver tangles with a pair of stand-up comics, a small-town newspaper office shelters an otherworldly tattletale, a backwoods acupuncturist leans on her least-exciting offspring, a girl in a strapless bra takes a vengeful go-kart ride, and a woman gets surgery to lower her expectations (she thinks it went \"okay\"). Grouped by types of riot-external riots, internal riots, and laugh riots-Thanks for This Riot is a poignant and mordantly funny collection with a distinctly feminist viewpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48862974673131,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":36.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781496240330-1.jpg?v=1781683743","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781496240330","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
