David Ireland presents a razor-sharp satirical lens trained on modern society, politics, and the delusions of grandeur that ordinary people quietly nurse, all rendered in a voice that is simultaneously unhinged and disarmingly lucid. The novel illustrates Ireland's signature style: fragmented, aphoristic, and relentlessly irreverent, drawing readers into a consciousness that is as entertaining as it is unsettling. Rich with black humor and philosophical provocation, it stands as a bold late-career statement from one of Australia's most distinctive and underappreciated literary voices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887953457371,"sku":"9780994490100-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780994490100-secondhand-the-world-repair-video-game","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
