Each space is described in painstaking detail, sometimes down to the centimetre, and the history of every object and appliance is fully excavated with self-deprecating wit. From the ideal varieties of bathroom reading material to the colour of his dish rack to the chaos of his sock drawer, Clerc happily and shamelessly guides us through the most intimate crannies of his home, as well as through all the strata of his existence as a bourgeois city dweller approaching middle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlayful and irreverent, as well as a sly commentary on materialism, \u003cem\u003eInterior\u003c\/em\u003e finds drama in the domestic and dark humour in every doomed attempt to express individuality through the things that we own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242518819052,"sku":"9781250214904","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250214904-interior-1.jpg?v=1787973408","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/interior-by-thomas-clerc-9781250214904","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
