{"product_id":"9781573662192","title":"Couch People : A Novel - William Burns","description":"A darkly comic descent into Arkansas's surreal criminal underworld through the eyes of a hapless, debt-ridden hypochondriacCouch People is a feverish, darkly comic novel that captures the anxious intensity of a world obsessed with wellness and control even as life keeps spinning into chaos. Prince, a debt-ridden drug dealer on probation, clings to vitamins and homeopathic rituals while stumbling through a surreal Arkansas underworld filled with criminal volatility and sudden violence. As Prince fights to stay out of prison, recover his stolen money, and hold onto a fragile hope for love, he moves through a landscape populated by unforgettable misfits and bizarre dangers, including a system where snitches are cremated, turned into diamonds, and set into convicts' teeth. Will Burns blends his satirical bite with unexpected tenderness, creating a narrative that prizes raw interiority and absurd humor over neat redemption. Couch People becomes a propulsive fever dream about love, loss, and the impossible effort to impose order on a world that refuses to make sense, inviting readers to embrace the beautiful mess of being alive without a manual, a map, or mercy.","brand":"William Burns","offers":[{"title":"248 pages, 3 B\u0026W Figures \/ 15\/11\/2026 \/ Crime \u0026 mystery","offer_id":57562729578871,"sku":"9781573662192","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781573662192.jpg?v=1792142190","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781573662192","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
