{"product_id":"9781668012475","title":"Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space : A Literary Mixtape by Remy Ngamije","description":"In this \"absolute marvel of a book\" (Dinaw Mengestu, author of Someone Like Us), acclaimed author Remy Ngamije offers up a vibrant collection of award-winning short fiction. Presented as a literary mixtape, Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space is a work that provides you with a uniquely modern reading experience. The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories.     There's \"Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)\", a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. \"Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)\" is a first-person account of a family's history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in \"From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco).\"  When read together, however, a third world emerges-a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected \"journey across all genres\" (Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Unbury Our Dead with Song) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369113661813,"sku":"9781668012475","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781668012475.jpg?v=1763552123","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781668012475","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
