{"product_id":"9780995593909","title":"Redefining Victory: A Post-Truth Novel","description":"A middle-aged man leaves his wife for a younger woman... or is it to 'find out who he really is'? You've heard it all before, of course - but not like this! REDEFINING VICTORY takes a banal situation and transforms it into something harshly comic, strangely surreal and disconcertingly archetypal. How? By making the characters talk and think entirely in cliches - rather like robots in some future experiment in AI. But the setting is now, and everything in the novel is so familiar - the characters, the situations, the words used - that it becomes paradoxically alien, weird and even, at times, a little grotesque. Both as an entertaining satire on 'middle England' and as a tragicomic vision of the emotional, intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of people whose language does their thinking - and their feeling - for them, REDEFINING VICTORY will make you ask: Do we all (sometimes) mistake the right phrase for the raw truth? And it's a must for anyone who loves the English language, revealing its world-beating richness in cliches, platitudes, euphemisms and hackneyed phrases. You'll be amazed at how many expressions there are that we really ought to avoid!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAnthony Stevens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eSilenos Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 21, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e176 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0995593906\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780995593909\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silenos Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50320096362801,"sku":"9780995593909","price":12.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780995593909__63861.jpg?v=1731973707","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780995593909","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
