{"product_id":"the-future-future","title":"The Future Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eA madcap story of female friendship, language and power, from France to colonial America to the moon, from 1775 to this very moment, a historical novel like no other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the eighteenth century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent, fighting and fraternising with foreign diplomats. Her parents are elsewhere. And a man, somewhere, is telling stories about her - about her affairs, her sexuality, her mad orgies and addictions and assignations. The stories aren't true, but everyone loves them, spreading them like a terrible plague. Celine watches as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten and wrong and naughty in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a world of decadence, saturation, and rot, of lavish parties and private salons, of purified guava and raki, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. This is a world ruled by men who are high on genocide, colonial expansion, forest redevelopment, political theory, violence against women and, above all, language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs France hurtles toward revolution and the planet whirls around the sun, Celine and her friends - the beautiful, stern Marta; the young Marie Antoinette - band together against evil and the tides of history in search of justice, truth and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Thirlwell's The Future Future is set in 1775 and in the present moment; in Europe and America and on the high seas and, briefly, on the moon. Wildly inventive, hilarious, supermodern and blindingly bright, it follows one woman on a quest to clear her name and change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adam Thirlwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063796383913,"sku":"9781787334410","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781787334410.jpg?v=1778126077","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-future-future","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
