{"product_id":"9781743054758-secondhand-datsunland","title":"Datsunland","description":"A long-deserted drive-in, waiting for a rerun of the one story that might give it life; a child who discovers his identity in a photograph hidden in his parents' room ... Stephen Orr's stories are happy to let you in, but not out. In  Datsunland , his characters are outsiders peering into worlds they don't recognise, or understand: an Indian doctor arriving in the outback, discovering an uncomfortable truth about the Australian dream; a family trying to have their son's name removed from a Great War cowards' list; a confused teenager with a gun making an ad for an evangelical ministry. Each story is set in a place where, as Borges described, 'heaven and hell seem out of proportion'. There is no easy escape from the world's most desperate car yard, or the school with a secret that permeates all but one of the fourteen stories in  Datsunland . Here is a glimpse of inner lives, love, the astonishment of being ourselves.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48790554542299,"sku":"9781743054758-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/092fb613-e515-4ec3-80f3-9491822c03a4.jpg?v=1779240721","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781743054758-secondhand-datsunland","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
