{"product_id":"9781629631936","title":"The Football Factory","description":"A raw, powerful first novel, The Football Factory centres on Tom Johnson, a reasoned 'Chelsea hooligan' who represents a disaffected society operating by brutal rules. We are shown the realities of life - social degradation, unemployment, racism, casual violence, excessive drink and bad sex - and, perhaps more importantly, how they fall into a political context of surveillance, media manipulation and division. Graphic and disturving, occasionally very funny, and deeply affecting throughout, The Football Factory is a vertiginous rush of adrenaline - the most authentic book yet onthe so-called English Disease.\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author: John King lives in London. He is currently working on a collection of stories and two further novels.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134825480432,"sku":"9781629631936","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781629631936_p0.jpg?v=1763870598","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781629631936","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
