Some accuse him of cruelty, but many<br \/>\nmore appreciate the wit and irony with which he tackles such subjects as bad taste, food, the tourist, shopping and<br \/>\nthe foibles of the British. Parr has been collecting postcards for 20 years, and here is the cream of his collection &#8211; his<br \/>\nboring postcards. With no introduction or commentary of any kind, Parr&amp;#39;s boring postcards are reproduced straight.<br \/>\nThey are exactly what they say they are, namely boring picture postcards showing boring photographs of boring<br \/>\nplaces, presumably for boring people to buy to send to their boring friends. All of them are shot in Britain, taking us on<br \/>\na boring tour of its motorways, ring roads, traffic interchanges, bus stations, pedestrian precincts, factories, housing<br \/>\nestates, airports, caravan sites, convalescent homes and shopping centres. Some attempt to idealize their subjects,<br \/>\nonly to fail dismally. Others lack any apparent purpose or interest, but the resultant collection of photographic images<br \/>\nis wholly compelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[658],"product_tag":[661],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/13783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13783"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=13783"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theysaidbooks.com\/ka\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=13783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
