{"product_id":"9781778430404","title":"NORMA","description":"\u003cp\u003eWidowhood and weirdos, online and off, NORMA is so dark it smarts. It’s a terrible freedom to linger unaccounted for. Norma is waking up and cracking up. Decades of marriage, housekeeping, and family responsibility: buried with her husband Hank. Now, she’s free, gorging on an online riot of canceled soap operas, message boards, and grocery store focus groups. Transcribing chatter for fifty cents a minute. It’s all of humanity—grim, funny, and desperate—wafting into her world, a world reeking with the funk of old fast food wrappers, cold stale recycled air, and desiccated car upholstery. And one where appropriate boundaries are suddenly slipping too, when a voice from one of her transcripts goes from virtual to IRL and just down the block. NORMA is a tart, unhinged flail into widowhood, the parasocial, and some of the more careworn corners of the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Invisible Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49236668973283,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781778430404-1.jpg?v=1788408654","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781778430404","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
