{"product_id":"9781880985410","title":"Eye Scream","description":"\"Work on Eye Scream started in 1986. I was crossing America constantly and\u003cbr\u003eexperiencing the morality shifts, attitudes, and rituals in different parts\u003cbr\u003eof the country - the difference in the way people were in the Bible Belt as\u003cbr\u003eopposed to New York City, the way blacks and whites interfaced, the\u003cbr\u003eintolerance of homosexuality, the morality plays. I started to become aware\u003cbr\u003eof how brutal the country is and how much ferocity, cruelty, and oppression\u003cbr\u003eare inherent in the culture and how much of it was in me. I wanted to\u003cbr\u003edocument it and create a book that brought the whole thing to a boil and see w\u003cbr\u003ehere it left me off. In the summer of 1995, I finished the book and started\u003cbr\u003eto edit. Re-reading the manuscript over and over, I realized all the things I\u003cbr\u003ehad picked up over a decade of playing Devil's advocate and it was inspiring\u003cbr\u003ebecause it clearly defined who my enemies are. As an American, I feel it\u003cbr\u003eimpossible not to be infuriated by the way things are and have been. I refuse\u003cbr\u003eto be happy about the day-to-day and go along with it. There's too much\u003cbr\u003espitting in my face and too much spitting in the faces of people who don't\u003cbr\u003eknow any other way of life. This book is brutal, and at times, funny. I know\u003cbr\u003ethat I will probably get a ton of shit for Eye Scream. Enjoy, or better\u003cbr\u003eyet... don't.\" ---- Henry Rollins","brand":"2.13.61","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137367916784,"sku":"9781880985410","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781880985410_p0.jpg?v=1763604224","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781880985410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
