{"product_id":"curious-true-stories-loose-connections","title":"Curious- True Stories \u0026 Loose Connections","description":"Autobiographical stories from the award-winning actor and comedy writer. SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR Sometimes things are more ordinary than you think. And sometimes they're a whole lot odder than you can possibly imagine. Rebecca Front has always drawn on experiences from her life in her award-winning acting and comic writing. In her debut book, she reveals herself as a master storyteller: sharp, witty, honest and highly attuned to the absurdities of life and the oddities of human nature. By turns poignant, comic and uplifting, CURIOUS is a book of stories, all of them true, though sometimes perhaps a little bent out of shape in the telling. We learn, among other things, why a Mexican wave is a symbol of oppression, how to navigate a conversational cul-de-sac with a French vegan train driver, and why keeping a pet rabbit on a lead is perfectly normal. This is a beguiling celebration of the curiosities of everyday life, and of what it is to be curious - in every sense of the word.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32688109256789,"sku":"9780297870210N","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9780297870210.jpg?v=1598900354","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/curious-true-stories-loose-connections","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
