'Love Letter' is a tender missive from grandfather to grandson, in the midst of a dystopian political situation in the not-too-distant future, that reminds us of our obligations to our ideals, ourselves, and each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Ghoul' is set in a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park in Colorado, and follows the exploits of a lonely, morally complex character named Brian, who comes to question everything he takes for granted about his 'reality.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 'Mother's Day', two women who loved the same man come to an existential reckoning in the middle of a hailstorm. And in 'Elliott Spencer', our eighty-nine-year-old protagonist finds himself brainwashed - his memory 'scraped' - a victim of a scheme in which poor, vulnerable people are reprogrammed and deployed as political protesters. Together, these nine subversive, profound, and essential stories coalesce into a case for viewing the world with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention as Saunders does, even in the most absurd of circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JUST BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42232431018099,"sku":"9781526624994","price":115.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/9781526624994.jpg?v=1725263036","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.co.za\/products\/9781526624994","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
