{"product_id":"9781913109868","title":"Brighton Funk by Nofel Nawras","description":"The teen novel kicks off in Brighton 1962. Cool records and sharp fashions form the backdrop sounds and sights to this story of 15-yearold Naseem Al Yawar (`Naz'), a young man on the verge of adulthood and heading for his first experience of love. Naz is a typical foul-mouthed, disaffected teenage boy, bright but with no interest in school apart from a love of literature instilled in him by an inspirational teacher, Mr Easton - nicknamed `Easy Easton'. The latter encourages Naz to write, directing him to read many authors including Henry Miller and John Steinbeck . Raymond Chandler is a particular favourite: `I love his crispness and gusty dialogue,' says Naz. The world is opening up for Naz, but his Arab father - a moody, bitter man - is disappointed at what life has brought him and envious of his son's youth and freedom.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205911871666,"sku":"9781913109868","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781913109868_798e8382-bd05-4cab-8828-cf5569fd9a39.jpg?v=1705369679","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781913109868","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
