After years of chaotic struggle against the world took his own life at the age of 42.Tracking the lives of two brothers in changing times - from illicit cans of lager in 70s sitting rooms to ecstasy in 90s raves - O Brother is a tender, affecting and often uproariously funny story. It is about the bonds of family and how we try to keep the best of those we lose alive. It is about black sheep and what it takes to break the ties that bind. Fundamentally it is about how families survive suicide, 'that last cry, from the saddest outpost.'Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: John NivenGenre: BiographyTopic: Social Sciences, Medicine, Personal Development, Society & Culture, HistoryItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 270gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
