{"product_id":"9781960327024","title":"History Is Embarrassing","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of essays full of startling directness, fearlessness, and surprise.    � Filled with profound reflections and snapshots from the past, Karen Chase's History is Embarrassing weaves together threads from one single life-a girl suffering from polio, a poet, a Jewish woman, a writer, and a painter. Like Chase, the characters who populate these essays are outsiders-undercover cops, a gay couple in 1500s India, bear poachers, psychiatric patients, and even a president-each a meaningful part of history. Divided into three parts-histories, pleasures, and horrors-History is Embarrassing is an assortment of thought-provoking essays that are sure to resonate with many readers.    �\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45469825073373,"sku":"9781960327024","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781960327024.jpg?v=1720175975","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781960327024","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
