{"product_id":"quentin-hankey-traitor-1","title":"Quentin Hankey Traitor","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1980s Ball developed a new character, stringy-haired, middle-aged Quentin Hankey, specifically to probe the New Zealand social scene. For a few months in 1981 he published a Hankey-centred political cartoon in the \u003cem\u003eNew Zealand Mail\u003c\/em\u003e, which savagely attacked the government’s response to the 1981 Springbok tour, and he revived the character for the illustrated novella \u003cem\u003eQuentin Hankey: traitor\u003c\/em\u003e(1986). In this satirical Cold War fantasy, a Labour government declares New Zealand an independent republic, only to have it overthrown by force by the National Party backed by the American military. The story culminates in a Russian nuclear attack on New Zealand. Like ‘Stanley’, \u003cem\u003eQuentin Hankey\u003c\/em\u003e parodied social attitudes and stereotypes, taking aim at greedy conservatives, American foreign policy, and impractical left-wing protest movements, among other things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy has light creases on the cover.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780474002267\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Trade Paperback, 72 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan\u003eReed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished:  1896\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B - Good Condition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47882154541212,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/quent_2.jpg?v=1791872542","url":"https:\/\/booksforless.co.nz\/products\/quentin-hankey-traitor-1","provider":"Books For Less","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
