A prolific night blogger for a feminist website uses her boyfriend as a writing chair. A reality TV family hailing from Soho meets their superfan. A journalist working for an insolvent local newsroom ventures out to an artists’ encampment on Ellis Island for one final scoop. These characters’ quests—for love, creative fulfillment, a steady paycheck, a sense of belonging—are only further complicated by the follies of city living: financial and emotional insecurity, vanity, propinquity, and pure chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecise but playful, wry but emotionally resonant, \u003ci\u003eWhy Trees \u003c\/i\u003eintroduces a charming, perceptive, original voice through these sharp and memorable portraits of characters performing for mercurial audiences, seeking connection, and straining against the boundaries that have been set for them.","brand":"Hogarth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48412411068671,"sku":"9798217060887","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798217060887_s600x595.jpg?v=1780336003","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9798217060887","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
