{"product_id":"misadventures","title":"Sylvia Smith: Misadventures [2001] paperback","description":"Part memoir, part comic monologue, this is an ensemble of mishaps and anecdotes that, taken together, reveals the ups and downs of one woman's life. Relentlessly self-deprecating, Sylvia Smith's diary at first seems to relay the humdrum, everydayness of living, yet it steadily gains momentum as a darker undertone gathers force. Interspersed between humorous tales of first-date disasters and \"get-rich-quick\" schemes gone awry, the reader is thrown off-balance by the loss of sexual innocence and a pervading sense of loneliness. As Sylvia stumbles from one temporary job to another, and through a variety of furnished flats, her deadpan delivery is shot through with moments of sandpaper-dry wit.","brand":"Smith, Sylvia","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":47804946415955,"sku":"XG81841952079","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/smith-sylvia-misadventures-xg81841952079-54902702375251.jpg?v=1728234845","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/misadventures","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
