{"product_id":"the-love-school-by-elizabeth-knox-2465r","title":"The Love School by Elizabeth Knox","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Love School collects more than twenty years' of Elizabeth Knox's non-fiction. These frank and revealing essays and talks tell the story of her writing s beginnings in childhood imaginary games played with her sisters and friends; of leaving home and working at Inland Revenue to earn money to write; of the writing and putting away of the two novels that came before her prize-winning debut, After Z-Hour, in 1987; and of the extraordinary novels which followed. Here is Wellington in the eighties: lives led in now demolished buildings, the pastimes and politics of the period described with vivid particularity, passion, wisdom and a sense of the absurd. In these pages the reader will encounter the comic: possums who invade and occupy a portion of the author's Brooklyn flat; the dramatic: the Red Squad at the intersection of Rintoul and Riddiford Streets on Wellington test day; and the mysterious: an angelic stranger in a Venetian back street. --Book Jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41830899843146,"sku":"2465r","price":9.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/2465r_6acbe840-58fa-4ba8-ac57-2dcc9de347de.jpg?v=1764459080","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/the-love-school-by-elizabeth-knox-2465r","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
