{"product_id":"a-smattering-of-applause-9781037118616","title":"A Smattering of Applause","description":"These disparate short stories form a cohesive whole in the lives and tales of a starving artist, a war correspondent, a shelter survivor and other vivid characters. Their struggles and at times inept counsel lead to a resolve that surpasses the reader with redeemed prophecy like life itself; the examples of the underclass narrate the troubling complexities of class and hypocrisy. With humour and dignity, the lesser self is elevated to a higher truth and a greater communal understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781037118616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Maggie Mortimer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52360498643125,"sku":"9781037118616","price":7.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c569e1c9-9015-46ec-a9ca-0184ef49b754.jpg?v=1773721240","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-smattering-of-applause-9781037118616","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
