{"product_id":"9781913512507","title":"The body in the library","description":"\u003cp\u003eCancer, tumour, cancer. The words fizzle and dissolve into nothing like aspirin in water. I exist in the third person. The room is blue. When Graham Caveney was a child the word 'cancer' was unspeakable, only uttered in jokes told by people too frightened to say the word in any other context. Now the boy with perpetual nervousness is a fifty-something man, and the oncologist in front of him is saying words evacuated of all meaning: Inoperable. Incurable. In this startling and deeply moving memoir from one of the great chroniclers of British working-class life, Graham Caveney charts a year of disease from diagnosis to past 'original sell-by-date'. Shot through with Northerness, tenderness, and Caveney's trademark humour, 'The Body in the Library' reflects on an unfinished lifetime filled with books and with love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peninsula Press","offers":[{"title":"Graham \/ Caveney","offer_id":48925203628346,"sku":"9781913512507","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781913512507_5be0da01-e311-4b09-b47e-e64c17b075d2.jpg?v=1719057000","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9781913512507","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
