{"product_id":"books-you-too-can-have-a-body-like-mine-by-alexandra-kleeman","title":"You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn intelligent and madly entertaining debut novel reminiscent of The Crying of Lot 49, White Noise, and City of Glass that is at once a missing-person mystery, an exorcism of modern culture, and a wholly singular vision of contemporary womanhood from a terrifying and often funny voice of a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA woman known only by the letter A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality show called That's My Partner! A eats (or doesn't) the right things, watches endless amounts of television, often just for the commercials--particularly the recurring cartoon escapades of Kandy Kat, the mascot for an entirely chemical dessert--and models herself on a standard of beauty that only exists in such advertising. She fixates on the fifteen minutes of fame a news-celebrity named Michael has earned after buying up his local Wally Supermarket's entire, and increasingly ample, supply of veal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeanwhile B is attempting to make herself a twin of A, who hungers for something to give meaning to her life, something aside from C's pornography addiction, and becomes indoctrinated by a new religion spread throughout a web of corporate franchises, which moves her closer to the decoys that populate her television world, but no closer to her true nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672371355921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780062388674.jpg?v=1781519378","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-you-too-can-have-a-body-like-mine-by-alexandra-kleeman","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
