{"product_id":"9781772141740-white-lie","title":"White Lie","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart travelogue, part autofiction, part record of living under Western regimes that torture, kidnap, and murder its own citizens and those who wish to cross its borders, White Lie is a collection of super-short fictions. Written to be read in a book, but written on a phone, about that technology, about how our stories today blend into factual-seeming fictions and lying propaganda. Repressed memories of living in repressive societies. Like Tierra Whack's album of one-minute rap songs or Stan Douglas' Monodramas. Shorter than a stand-up comic's joke and longer than a criminal tyrannical president's tweet. A museum room full of paintings you zoom thru in thirty seconds or Thirty Two Short Films about Glenn Gould.   New fakes for attention spans that .  what was I saying? Something something the age of distraction. You get me.   Clint Burnham's White Lie is a series of quick bursts - hilarious, tragic, and thoughtful in turn. You won't forget these paragraph-length stories because you will read them again and again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41710644133985,"sku":"9781772141740","price":10.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34922636.jpg?v=1750887383","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781772141740-white-lie","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
