There's a flash on his screen, a clip of someone jerking off in a bedroom. Clark thinks it might be a picture of himself right before the phone rang, but the image is gone before he can see it clearly.\" His straightforward yet unaccountably insane prose is anomie trapped in a bounce house. His seemingly relaxed narrative is \"a leash that can be jerked at any moment,\" as his hapless protagonists, in stories like \"Almost Famous\" and \"Just Another Emergency\" obsess over people's fake smiles, mermaids who appear out of nowhere, and the political soul destroyers who mask their evil intentions with bland and obvious gestures in a nation soothed to boredom by the grotesquerie of the commonplace.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47254809346297,"sku":"9781959556206","price":25.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/DlRHsBlJu49781959556206.webp?v=1768716919","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/twentytwenty-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
