{"product_id":"petty-theft-by-girard-pascal-paperback-2014","title":"Petty Theft by Girard Pascal (Paperback, 2014)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePascal's in a bad place. He's out of work, he and his long-time girlfriend have just broken up, and when he goes out for a run to ease his frazzled nerves, he falls and injures his back so badly, he's strictly forbidden from running. What's an endorphin-loving cartoonist to do? In a bid to distract himself, Pascal throws himself into his other pleasure: reading. And while at the bookstore one day, he spies a young woman picking up his own book. But then she darts out of the shop without paying. Bemused, he decides to figure out why she did it. Petty Theft is a comedy of errors, a laugh-out-loud account of a man on a mission, and a heavily fictionalised memoir about the addictiveness of book-ownership. Pascal Girard intermingles an all-too-true-to-life snapshot of contemporary relationships with slapstick trials and dryly funny tribulations in this delightfully readable book. From the award-winning author of Reunion, Petty Theft is a deftly told, finely drawn contemporary romance that will keep book-lovers on the edge of their seat from the first page until the book's denouement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Drawn and Quarterly\u003cbr\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ 21 May 2014\u003cbr\u003eEdition ‏ : ‎ Illustrated\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 104 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN ‏ : ‎ 9781770461529\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 14.9 x 1.2 x 20.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57559814177155,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3577\/3506\/files\/pettytheft.jpg?v=1773219902","url":"https:\/\/madkatshop.co.uk\/products\/petty-theft-by-girard-pascal-paperback-2014","provider":"MadKatShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
