{"product_id":"9781914391057","title":"The blue mask","description":"Neil is a student at Birmingham University, living a typical life of gigs, clubs, politics, sex. One night, after a row with his lover, Neil follows a stranger onto a canal towpath. The stranger turns on him and attacks, viciously carving up Neil's face and leaving him mutilated beyond recognition. Neil's recovery is a journey through surgical reconstruction and sexual alienation. His attempt to track down his attacker becoming a search for his own hidden, destructive self; a search that leads him to question values he had always taken for granted. First published in 2003 and long out-of-print , The Blue Mask is a hardcore emotional trip exploring the trauma of change and the nature of violence and of love.","brand":"Lane, Joel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55065903268177,"sku":"9781914391057","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/6478\/4209\/files\/9781914391057.jpg?v=1790244485","url":"https:\/\/thecommonpress.shop\/products\/9781914391057","provider":"The Common Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
