{"product_id":"a-ballet-of-wasps","title":"A Ballet of Wasps","description":"\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis volume consists of four short stories and a play. The first, \u003cem\u003eA Ballet of Wasps\u003c\/em\u003e, deals with a woodsman who offends a vampire with tales of derring-do. Our second story, \u003cem\u003eGolgothaÕs Centurion\u003c\/em\u003e, focuses on the chiaroscuro and ochre tints in Giotto and Cimabue. It also makes use of the same template as Mel Gibson in his \u003cem\u003ePassion of the Christ\u003c\/em\u003e, but this time to illustrate \u003cem\u003eLex talionis\u003c\/em\u003e. The third piece, \u003cem\u003eWildernessÕ Ape\u003c\/em\u003e, delves into the world of zombies or the living dead. \u003cem\u003eSixty Foot Dolls\u003c\/em\u003e Ð our fourth javelin Ð considers the vexed topics of ÔageismÕ, eugenesis, regression theory and evolution. The last romance, \u003cem\u003eStinging Beetles\u003c\/em\u003e, is a theatrical exercise in daemonic possession which brings together flash backs, dream sequences and other filmic techniques. Its finale again enforces the point of the whole book Ð namely, that heroic values and aristocratic mores need to take over once again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Bowden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44925321412769,"sku":"1234568436","price":32.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1w4epwje-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747342982","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/a-ballet-of-wasps","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
