In 'Straight Fiction', everyone is gay, apart from the beleaguered 'straight' community; in 'Career Move', screenplay writers submit their works to little magazines, while poets are flown first-class to Los Angeles; in 'The Janitor of Mars', a sardonic robot gives us some strange news about life in the solar system. In 'Let Me Count the Times' a man has a mad affair with himself. 'Heavy Water', portrays the exhaustion of working-class culture, and 'State of England' its weird resuscitation. And in 'The Coincidence of the Arts' an English baronet becomes entangled with an African-American chess hustler.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43998043341019,"sku":"9780099272663-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780099272663-us-300.jpg?v=1678354720","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780099272663-secondhand-heavy-water-and-other-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
