Or do they?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving bored in the ultimate apartment, enjoying fancy take-out, their household help, and the ultimate white privilege—the luxury of being dispassionate—the Biltstone family finally comes to life after seeing something on TV. A plane crash in suburban Ohio is dominating newly available 24-hour cable news, and it takes an event of this magnitude to unify the family, or even get them out of the house. They all know instantly what they must do: embark on an absurd journey—a family vacation of sorts—to experience the scene of their and the country's obsession. And once they are there, we come to find, truly, who they are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAugusten Burroughs’s first novel in twenty-seven years, \u003ci\u003eThe Debris Field \u003c\/i\u003eis distinctly Augusten Burroughs: scathing and funny, it wickedly skewers white privilege via a family and decade that come vividly alive, from the clothes, food, and furniture to the casual racism, and distinctly pre-9\/11 mélange of ease and doom. It is provocative and satisfying, with writing that is lyrical and potent, darkly funny and deeply true.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62242788671875,"sku":"9798217180868","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9798217180868.jpg?v=1785401219","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-debris-field-9798217180868","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
