In a damp, putrid spa, the exploitative drudgery of work sparks revolt; in a Margate museum, the new Director curates a venomous garden for public consumption.   In Grudova's unforgettably surreal style, these stories expose the absurdities behind contemporary ideas ofwork, Britishness and art-making, to conjure a singular, startling strangeness that proves the deft skill of a writerat the top of her game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45465210290397,"sku":"9781838956356","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781838956356.jpg?v=1720092427","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781838956356","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
