{"product_id":"9780956140920","title":"Blue Light","description":"Two novellas by John Fraser, Blue Light and Starting Over, conclude a quadrilogy whose previous volumes comprised The Red Tank, Runners and Medusa.\u003cp\u003eWe may like to imagine what the end of the world is like - it's not dissimilar to our own end. Blue Light shows what it's like, the running down, the onset of rigor mortis - and the new life sprouting, notwithstanding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiving for ever may not be too bad - but do you really want it? When the world has ended, how attractive is rebirth, or resurrection? Starting Over may mean you have to piece a whole new world together - just using the ruins of the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet John Fuller writes: 'In Fraser's fiction the reader rides as on a switchback or luge of impetuous attention, with effects flashing by at virtuoso speeds. The characters seem to be unwitting agents of chaos, however much wise reflection Fraser bestows upon them; they move with shrugging self-assurance through circumstances as richly detailed and as without reliable compass-points as a Chinese scroll.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesop Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023075918064,"sku":"9780956140920","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780956140920_p0.jpg?v=1763868188","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780956140920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
