{"product_id":"9780143136606","title":"People from Bloomington","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, Budi Darma - one of Indonesia's most acclaimed writers - lived as a student in Bloomington, Indiana. His experiences formed the basis for the renowed short story collection, The People from Bloomington: a portrait of small-town America that offers an incisive view of the West and the people that inhabit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Darma's America, apartment blocks and gasping attic rooms shadow overgrown gardens, empty streets and distances traversable only by car. His stories circle the lonely, the unkempt, and the odd: mysterious old men and gruesomely sick poets, children with strange proportions and women waiting for letters that never arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTense, quietly surreal and always morbidly funny, The People from Bloomington is one of the great works of twentieth-century Indonesian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49832480833784,"sku":"EB_li0700_E02-08_SYDNEY","price":27.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780143136606-1_6832c42c-70e1-4895-899b-9e9703c36ca0.jpg?v=1791618838","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780143136606","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
