{"product_id":"9780141987996","title":"Returning To Reims","description":"\u003cp\u003e'There was a question that had come to trouble me a bit earlier, once I had taken the first steps on this return journey to Reims . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy, when I have had such an intense experience of forms of shame related to class, shame in relation to the milieu in which I grew up, why, when once I had arrived in Paris and started meeting people from such different class backgrounds, I would often find myself lying about my class origins . . . why had it never occurred to me to take up this problem in a book?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning to Reims is a breathtaking account of one man's return to the town where he grew up after an absence of thirty years. It is a frank, fearlessly personal story of family, memory, identity and time lost. But it is also a sociologist's view of what it means to grow up working class and then leave that class; of inequality and shifting political allegiances in an increasingly divided nation. A phenomenon in France and a huge bestseller in Germany, Didier Eribon has written the defining memoir of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Didier+Eribon\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDidier Eribon\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Didier Eribon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377051222179,"sku":"9780141987996","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780141987996_dbf5c531-821c-4d87-afe1-316a4fd65d67.jpg?v=1776454976","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780141987996","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
