{"product_id":"we-the-survivors","title":"We, the Survivors","description":"\u003cp\u003eA murderer's confession - devastating, unblinking, poignant, unforgettable - which reveals a story of class, education and the inescapable workings of destiny. Ah Hock is an ordinary, uneducated man born in a Malaysian fishing village and now trying to make his way in a country that promises riches and security to everyone, but delivers them only to a chosen few. With Asian society changing around him, like many he remains trapped in a world of poorly paid jobs that just about allow him to keep his head above water but ultimately lead him to murder a migrant worker from Bangladesh. In the tradition of Camus and Houellebecq, Ah Hock's vivid and compelling description of the years building up to this appalling act of violence - told over several days to a local journalist whose life has taken a different course - is a portrait of an outsider like no other, an anti-nostalgic view of human life and the ravages of hope. It is the work of a writer at the peak of his powers.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 129 x 198 x 21\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Aw Tash\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780008318581\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 336\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48335444803737,"sku":"1RA9780008318581","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/We_the_Survivors_Aw_Tash.jpg?v=1784378726","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/we-the-survivors","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
