About this title

Synopsis

A kaleidoscopic view of the author's life. Through fragmented memories, vivid

imagery, and introspective musings, Kalu explores a range of themes, from the

joys and anxieties of childhood to the complexities of adult relationships, career

struggles, and the enduring search for meaning.

Act Normal invites readers to delve into the author's inner world, confronting

universal themes of love, loss, identity, and the search for connection. Through

his unique and insightful perspective, Kalu challenges conventional narratives

and encourages readers to question their own assumptions about life, love, and

the world around them.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
