The rental crisis is intensifying, ravenous real estate development is thriving and there is a province-wide forest fire emergency, which blankets the city in smoke. The protagonist, Dylan Levett, is a recent university graduate being \"renovicted\" from his rent-controlled apartment, the central point of view of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotice\u003c\/i\u003e is a Kafkaesque story about a man caught in the gears of a bureaucracy, a spiral-down, bad-to-worse kind of story. Socially relevant, this is a funhouse mirror held up to Vancouver, a working-class story that stands apart with its composite of literary techniques. Overall, \u003ci\u003eNotice\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on displacement and petty frustration, applying a documentary sensibility to an original and topical scenario.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42163129450631,"sku":"9780889713840","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/39374030269b4a8dc5181ee537404556.webp?v=1733294923","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/notice-paperback-3","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
