Life of the Party reveals the backstage as by turns mundane, bulgar and glorious – a site of sacred ritual behind the spectacle of performance.","brand":"Semiotext ( E )","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":51089168400662,"sku":"RMX-64307","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/a3c61414659203180033f30e4d6e496e.jpg?v=1773158029","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/holiday-harmony-life-of-the-party","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
