{"product_id":"worst-person-ever","title":"Worst Person Ever","description":"\u003cp\u003eA razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt and gleefully wicked modern man, \u003ci\u003eWorst. Person. Ever.\u003c\/i\u003e is Douglas Coupland''s gloriously filthy, side-splittingly funny and unforgettable novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet Raymond Gunt. A decent chap who tries to do the right thing. Or, to put it another way, the worst person ever: a foul-mouthed, misanthropic cameraman, trailing creditors, ex-wives and unhappy homeless people in his wake. Men dislike him, women flee from him.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorst. Person. Ever.\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply unworthy book about a dreadful human being with absolutely no redeeming social value. Gunt, in the words of the author, \"is a living, walking, talking, hot steaming pile of pure id.\" He''s a B-unit cameraman who enters an amusing downward failure spiral that takes him from London to Los Angeles and then on to an obscure island in the Pacific where a major American TV network is shooting a \u003ci\u003eSurvivor\u003c\/i\u003e-style reality show. Along the way, Gunt suffers multiple comas and unjust imprisonment, is forced to re-enact the ‘Angry Dance’ from the movie \u003ci\u003eBilly Elliot\u003c\/i\u003e and finds himself at the centre of a nuclear war. We also meet Raymond''s upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, as well as Raymond''s ex-wife, Fiona, herself ‘an atomic bomb of pain’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven though he really puts the ‘anti’ in anti-hero, you may find Raymond Gunt an oddly likeable character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319867875710,"sku":"NW9780099537397","price":9.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780099537397.jpg?v=1778728397","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/worst-person-ever","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
