{"product_id":"9781911343301","title":"The Tourist Butcher : VERZET 4 by Jamal Ouariachi","description":"Taken from his highly successful collection, these two stories take unconventional positions towards short story archetypes. The Tourist Butcher is an unflinching tale about a serial killer who prepares his victims for a culinary dish, while Memories in Aluminium Foil follows the nightmares and existential crisis of a psychology student who receives a slice of human brain in aluminium foil as a gift from his biologist roommate.   In the original Dutch collection, Ouariachi stated that his goal was to `bring the short story back to the campfire', allowing his stories to hold up a mirror to the reader, rather than telling them what to achieve. These two stories, appearing in English for the first time, demonstrate his success: he has created a pair of dark, horrifying underworlds for the reader's mind to get lost in, whilst maintaining a language that is light and graceful.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308537295221,"sku":"9781911343301","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911343301.jpg?v=1762807955","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781911343301","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
