{"product_id":"9781508840206","title":"Spitshine: Short stories","description":"The author of 'MEAN' and 'Hot Bible!' spins 16 new yarns. It's literary fiction, told by bad buggers. The theme of Spitshine is comparable to the mission of journalists: to 'Afflict the comfortable; comfort the afflicted.' Early reviews of 'Spitshine' responded to the book thus: \"16 short stories from a writer considered one of the most original story writers of his generation in New Zealand.

Like in his previous collection 'Mean, ' Botur uses authentic street language and slang to perfectly portray real life.\" - Rebekah Fraser, NZ Booklovers","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48531757433073,"sku":"9781508840206","price":10.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781508840206_p0.jpg?v=1786308456","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781508840206","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
