Whether non-participants in the mainstream, rebels against it, or its occasional victims, they're well practiced at recognizing the herd instinct in action. From the six-year-old girl who discovers transgressive new games to play with her glamorous cousin from England; to a decidedly unusual schoolchild inventing a novel way of getting back at playground bullies; to young women who find their love interests drifting away, seduced by conventional notions of popularity and success; to a narrator who suddenly finds herself on no ordinary train trip through the heart of Slovenia--these are characters and stories that deftly and sardonically underscore the phantom nature of \"normalcy\" itself and the risks of its tyranny for dissenters and conformists alike.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44069161566253,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_3fc5e1b7-abea-4bb5-89f3-74c0aeaf14c4.jpg?v=1762765915","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/games-with-greta-and-other-stories","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
