{"product_id":"the-reactor","title":"The Reactor","description":"'One of the finest accounts of the mysterious workings of grief I have ever read.' Helen Macdonald 'Completely compelling.' Olivia Laing 'Read it with awe and sorrow.' Fatima Bhutto  After the sudden death of his father, Nick Blackburn embarks on a singular, labyrinthine journey to understand his loss. How do you create an existence when all you can see is a void?  The Reactor is a memoir about absence and creative possibilities, assembled like the pieces of a puzzle. Through philosophy, music, fashion, psychology, art and film, Blackburn travels a vast panorama of ideas and characters to offer an entirely new exploration of grief. This is a book about looking for and finding chain reactions and human connection - a work of enduring fragmentary beauty.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40696474894421,"sku":"9780571367757N","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/3950cf4d-5b92-47c4-90bc-905d03636c7d.jpg?v=1695840618","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-reactor","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
