In a cultural moment where folks are stripped of the their dignity or shed it willingly, the figures in this book wonder at the utility of maintaining their own. There's a touch of Hamlet's question in there along with some I Ching. Can monkeys pray? Are we better off living in the real world or a speculative one? Through an essay, a novella, and short and flash fiction pieces, A Terrifying Brush with Optimism is at once leaping, thoughtful, diverse, comic, and brooding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarabande Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45664257507407,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":663.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781956046311","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
