{"product_id":"9781784704223","title":"A Horse Walks into a Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a little dive in a small Israeli city, Dov Greenstein, a comedian a bit past his prime, is doing a night of stand-up. In the audience is a district court justice, Avishai Lazar, whom Dov knew as a boy, along with a few others who remember Dov as an awkward, scrawny kid who walked on his hands to confound the neighbourhood bullies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGradually, as it teeters between hilarity and hysteria, Dov's patter becomes a kind of memoir, taking us back into the terrors of his childhood: we meet his beautiful flower of a mother, a Holocaust survivor in need of constant monitoring, and his punishing father, a striver who had little understanding of his creative son. Finally, recalling his week at a military camp for youth--where Lazar witnessed what would become the central event of Dov's childhood--Dov describes the indescribable while Lazar wrestles with his own part in the comedian's story of loss and survival.\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+David+Grossman\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDavid Grossman\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Grossman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379276071075,"sku":"9781784704223","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781784704223_f206a522-5b8f-46a4-a99e-8998ab39d065.jpg?v=1776588494","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781784704223","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
