{"product_id":"kipling-plass-9781845235925","title":"Kipling Plass","description":"Moving, shocking, lyrical and sometimes grimly funny, Kipling Plass must survive as teenager abandoned by his mother after her mental breakdown. Set in a multiracial Guyanese village in the 1980s, at the height of that country's economic collapse, as social structures give way, the novel confronts the tensions between social solidarity and dog-eat-dog individualistic ruthlessness. Amid this, Kipling Plass narrates his and his teenage friends' struggles for both physical and emotional survival, amidst their own confusions of sexual and social identity. A heartbreaking story of family trauma, sexuality, friendship and growing up, Kipling Plass is an epic portrayal of 1980s Guyana that is rarely seen in fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845235925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332","brand":"Berkley Wendell Semple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916285472949,"sku":"9781845235925","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6f1f28ed-25de-4012-9431-733d8cd59736.jpg?v=1734449783","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kipling-plass-9781845235925","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
