{"product_id":"9780981075204","title":"Something Like Ideal","description":"Something Like Ideal is the patchwork philosophy of a traveling busker, the inebriated Teague Grady. Drawn from his own hardship and confirmed by a summer spent observing a small town in southern Ireland, Teague unravels his thoughts on life in one spirit-filled evening with a lost lover. He introduces a motley ensemble of characters, including foul-mouthed rake Fin Larkin, insecure bartender Alan Brennan, the stunning world traveler Sara Doran, and dying pub patriarch Paddy Shannon, weaving fly-on-the-wall vignettes of their lives with his own lovelorn lyrical poetry to present a case for his worldview. A caustic drama, filled with dark humour, Something Like Ideal leaves open the slim possibility for hope.","brand":"Brent Stephen Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091376476400,"sku":"9780981075204","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780981075204","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
