{"product_id":"9781469112916","title":"Beckett's Ape","description":"Beckett’s Ape is a masterfully crafted play on words that probes the absurdity of the human condition.  It begins where Godot ends and reads like a novel whose dialogue mimes our humdrum lives.  It mirrors our fears, echoes our need for meaning, and points us toward hope in a surprising way.  Two misfits – named Plankton and Eelectron – are painting a curb and stoplight on the corner of Life and Death.  Plankton is a pushy control freak in charge of “thinking” who orders his sensitive friend around.  While painting the stoplight (and each other) they receive urgent phone calls from a boss named HIM.  We witness apparitions and Eelectron’s crucifixion who as a victim of Plankton’s paint atop the stoplight is entirely yellow.  Our hero is revived by a goddess named Neutrino who arises from a trashcan.  The plot thickens as the stoplight changes from green to yellow to red, and again to green.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168092569840,"sku":"9781469112916","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469112916_p0.jpg?v=1763697991","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469112916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
