{"product_id":"9781913689711","title":"The Pepsi Cola Addict","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe legendary lost novel in which fourteen-year-old Preston Wildey-King must choose between his all-consuming passion for Pepsi Cola and his love for schoolmate Peggy.\u003c\/b\u003e \"He walked into the turbulent super market. There were people everywhere. His eyes swept over the shelves and stabilised on a large stack of Pepsi-colas. He could almost experience the cool fizzy liquid descending his parched throat.\" Written by June-Alison Gibbons when she was only 16, \u003ci\u003eThe Pepsi Cola Addict\u003c\/i\u003e is considered one of the great works of twentieth-century outsider literature. More than just a literary curiosity, however, this tale of a teenager whose passion for a well-known cola drink threatens to ruin his life is the uniquely vivid expression of a young woman trying to make sense of the confusing, often brutal world she in which found herself. Published in 1982 by a vanity press who took �800 from its young author and gave her only a single book in return, it's thought that fewer than ten original copies still exist in the world. Shortly after its publication, June-Alison and her sister Jennifer would become infamous as \"The Silent Twins\" and find themselves cruelly incarcerated for over a decade in Broadmoor Hospital. This author-approved edition makes June-Alison Gibbon's remarkable vision widely available for the first time.","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59659079024972,"sku":"9781913689711","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9781913689711-a812198df675c7ac_front.webp?v=1793376235","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/en-ch\/products\/9781913689711","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
