{"product_id":"tremor-3","title":"Tremor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new novel from the author of the celebrated Open\nCity - a powerful and masterful exploration of what\nmakes a meaningful life in a world of violence and won-\nder.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife is hopeless but it is not serious. We have to have danced while we could\nand, later, to have danced again in the telling.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTunde, the man at the centre of this novel, reflects on the places and times of\nhis life, from his West African upbringing to his current work as a teacher of\nphotography on a renowned New England campus. He is a reader, a listener,\nand a traveller drawn to many different kinds of stories: from history and the\nepic; of friends, family, and strangers; those found in books and films. One\nman’s personal lens refracts entire worlds, and back again.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA weekend spent shopping for antiques is shadowed by the colonial atrocities\nthat occurred on that land. A walk at dusk is interrupted by casual racism. A\nloving marriage is riven by mysterious tensions. And a remarkable cascade of\nvoices speak out from a pulsing metropolis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTremor is a startling work of realism and invention that examines the passage\nof time and how we mark it. It is a reckoning with human survival amidst “his-\ntory’s own brutality, which refuses symmetries and seldom consoles” – but it\nis also a testament to the possibility of joy. This is narration with all its senses\nalert, a surprising and deeply essential work from a beacon of contemporary\nliterature.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51246094319947,"sku":"2206724","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-06-20_at_16.06.11_c5ac7053_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1739231912","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/tremor-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
