{"product_id":"9781770466920","title":"20 km\/h","description":"\u003cb\u003eA slow-motion drive-by view of a collapsing universe meant to sit in the palm of your hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eHow fast can you go in a buggy drawn by the flap of a butterfly's wings? How do you measure the speed of waking from a dream? Such abstract inquiries into the unrelenting absurdity of contemporary life make up this omnibus of meditative vignettes from one of mainland China's most prolific and recognizable-yet anonymous-new underground cartoonists of the current generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery story in \u003ci\u003e20 km\/h\u003c\/i\u003e toes the line between pun and poetry, and lands somewhere just short of a zen koan: Come back to it as often as you like, it will never read quite the same way twice. A nondescript figure awakes from an assembly line of identically fashioned companions and boards a rowboat destined for the unknown. A man holds the key to sleep in his hand and uses it to disappear into his mattress. The moon is plucked from the sky and fed into a vending machine for a can of soda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoshibai's minimalist renderings are a startlingly delightful cocktail of existential dread and silent slapstick that arrest the mind's eye with equal parts humor and grace.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636654330097,"sku":"9781770466920","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781770466920_p0.jpg?v=1788293406","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770466920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
