Among the three archetypal characters in the back seat, business jargon becomes oracular poetry, and the powerful seem overtaken by a situation they do not fully comprehend.\u003cbr\u003e The second chapter, set in a café, relays a middle-aged man's enigmatic story of displacement, loss, and what it means to strive in an unstable world. The scene borrows structures and language from Ohio Impromptu, a short play by Samuel Beckett. Twentieth Century Hustlers. transposes Beckett's tale of estranged love into one about the nameless, fearful symptoms of our economic and social reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Distributed Titles","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52530954207512,"sku":"9780578608495","price":16.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/geof-oppenheimer-twentieth-century-hustlers-hardback-9780578608495","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
