{"title":"Isamu Fukui","description":"Isamu Fukui wrote Truancy during the summer of his fifteenth year. The author's purpose is not just to entertain, but to make a statement about the futility of the endless cycle of violence in the world, as well as the state of the educational system. And, as he put it, I need to be in school myself if I want to write about it. He is now a student at New York University.","products":[{"product_id":"truancy-origins-paperback","title":"Truancy Origins - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen years ago, the Mayor of the Education City was presented with an unwelcome surprise by his superiors: twin six-month-old boys.
