{"product_id":"triomf-9781585676491","title":"Triomf","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the four inhabitants of 127 Martha Street in the poor white suburb of Triomf. Living on the ruins of old Sophiatown  the freehold township razed to the ground as a so-called black spot  they await with trepidation their countrys first democratic elections. It is a date that coincides fatefully with the fortieth birthday of Lambert  the oversexed misfit son of the house. There is also Treppie  master of misrule and family metaphysician; Pop  the angel of peace teetering on the brink of the grave; and Mol  the materfamilias in her eternal housecoat. Pestered on a daily basis by nosy neighbors  National Party canvassers and Jehovahs Witnesses  defenseless against the big city towering over them like a vengeful dinosaur  they often resort to quoting to each other the only consolation that they know; we still have each other and a roof over our heads. Triomf relentlessly probes Afrikaner history and politics  revealing the bizarre and tragic effect that apartheid had on exactly the white underclass who were most supposed to benefit. It is also a seriously funny investigation of the human endeavor to make sense of life even under the most abject of circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932309651509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1585676497","price":67.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781585676491.jpg?v=1794223426","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/triomf-9781585676491","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
