{"product_id":"9781469108216","title":"The Hallucinogenic Rooster","description":"The Hallucinogenic Rooster is a moment captured in time, a dreamlike and nightmarish expansion of one brief moment.      In a place called Fairy Tale Town, some years ago, I walked with a girl I was in love with among grimy fantasies; a concrete Pirate ship, a castle and drinking fountains in the form of hippos and tin soldiers. Strange music came over loudspeakers.      Three of us (we were baby-sitting her sister’s infant) as a sort of makeshift family walked in this strange place. I watched a rooster walk in and out of shadows and light. I hallucinated that I was seeing its molecules and atoms coming apart and reassembling in bright colors.      I chose this event to represent the moment when we could have spoken to each other with our hearts but instead kept our silence. . .      This book is a sort of poetic expansion of that brief, lonely and beautiful moment.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130260406512,"sku":"9781469108216","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469108216_p0.jpg?v=1763697834","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469108216","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
