{"product_id":"offended-sensibilities-alisa-ganieva-9781646052233","title":"Offended Sensibilities","description":"From political fictionalist Alisa Ganieva: a neo-noir portrait of a legal system in which everything is broken and no one is innocent.\nOffended Sensibilities chronicles a series of sudden deaths that occur among officials of a provincial Russian town. The events follow a notorious blasphemy law banning forms of expression that offend the sensibilities of religious believers – a law passed after Pussy Riot’s infamous 2013 church-side protest that resulted in their arrest. \nWith this novel, Ganieva moves beyond the Dagestani setting of her previous award-winning books, published in English by Deep Vellum: The Mountain and the Wall and Bride and Groom. In Offended Sensibilities, Ganieva seeks to address nationalism, Orthodox religiosity, sexuality, and political corruption. Suffused with a light touch and at times rollicking sense of humor, this timely, entertaining and thought-provoking novel can be read as an allegory for the current political, social, religious, and cultural climate in Russia today.","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51116088459552,"sku":"9781646052233","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781646052233.jpg?v=1781111024","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/offended-sensibilities-alisa-ganieva-9781646052233","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
