{"product_id":"9781844719853","title":"Deaf at Spiral Park","description":"Deaf at Spiral Park is a book about a bear that shaves off his fur to join humanity. The novel uses a range of generic approaches, such as comedy and philosophy, to question the humanity of the bear, and conversely the animalistic behaviour of those around him. A cast of characters such as a clown, an invalid, a farmer and a philosopher transcend their stock types and become involved in the complex world of the bear. The antagonist, a recruitment consultant, dies several times, and, ultimately, this teaches her nothing. This is a fresh and original novel which remains accessible and funny in spite of its experimental and philosophical concerns.","brand":"Salt Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137100726512,"sku":"9781844719853","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844719853_p0.jpg?v=1763742878","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844719853","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
