{"product_id":"9781940450797","title":"All Our Happy Days Are Stupid","description":"\u003cbr\u003eTwo couples, each with a twelve-year-old child, travel to Paris; within a few moments of discovering each other in a crowd, one of their children disappears. A day later, one of the mothers disappears, too. The story that follows is a wonderfully strange, beautifully composed examination of happiness and desperation, complete with a man in a bear suit, a teen pop star, and eight really excellent songs.\u003cp\u003eSheila Heti’s debut play was first commissioned in 2001, for a feminist theater company that never ended up staging it. Its turbulent creation became the backdrop of Heti’s last novel, \u003ci\u003eHow Should a Person Be?\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named a Best Book of the Year by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e—and now the play itself can be revealed at last. With new introductions by Sheila Heti and director Jordan Tannahill, \u003ci\u003eAll Our Happy Days Are Stupid\u003c\/i\u003e offers a novel’s worth of wisdom and humor, of wild hope and dreamlike confrontations, and page after page of unforgettable lines. Seen until now only by a lucky few, its publication is a cause for celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044284416240,"sku":"9781940450797","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940450797_p0.jpg?v=1763791420","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940450797","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
