{"product_id":"the-glass-cage","title":"The Glass Cage","description":"A blistering account of fame, class and the cost of reinvention, as John Healy confronts what happens after survival - and the invisible cage success can buildNearly four decades after his acclaimed memoir The Grass Arena, John Healy delivers the long-awaited second volume of his extraordinary life.   The Glass Cage begins in the wake of sudden literary success and fragile sobriety, as Healy attempts to inhabit a world far removed from the prisons, streets and wino jungle that shaped him. Thrust into publishing, publicity and middle-class expectation, he finds himself disoriented by power, privilege and the subtle humiliations of class.   Written with fierce candour and dark, unsparing wit, this is a memoir not of escape, but of exposure - and of the cost of crossing worlds.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507628089717,"sku":"9781806771240","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781806771240.jpg?v=1787042637","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-glass-cage","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
