The Lemay Leveller is a the story of one woman's adventure from a troubled childhood, nihilistic youth and finally, triumphant middle age, weaving a thousand diary entries into a narrative that explores life, war, abuse, suicide, homelessness, religion, childhood, duty, patriotism, police violence, sexuality and yet more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book full of richly sketched characters, not the least of which is Lemay itself. A beautifully rundown area of a divided city \"made for the John Waters films that circulated like guide books\". The Lemay Leveller examines society one person at a time, calling on us all to recognise our part in the greater story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile harrowing at times, The Lemay Leveller never loses its sense of humour, bringing the reader along on a journey full of music, passion, and wry amusement over the absurdities of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CompletelyNovel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043295936752,"sku":"9781849148627","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849148627_p0.jpg?v=1763755111","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849148627","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
