{"product_id":"a-style-and-its-origins-howard-barker-9781840027181","title":"A Style and Its Origins","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoward Barker's alter-ego Eduardo Houth first materialised as the photographer of publicity images for Barker's theatre company The Wrestling School, one of many fictional identities assumed by the playwright to screen a range of his activities, including set and costume design. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting of himself in the third person and in the historic tense, Barker\/Houth achieves a fluency and an uncommon measure of objectivity, though objectivity is scarcely the sole intention. The result is a unique exercise in self-description, partisan but without the shrill self-justification so common in a mere autobiography. Barker\/Houth's A Style and its Origins is very much a literary creation; it is also a totally original document and a rich history of the dramatist and his aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1840027185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840027181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.69h x 5.81w x 0.37d","brand":"Howard Barker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088848433407,"sku":"9781840027181","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4f99c97-5df6-411c-9589-b8e2c5849fec.jpg?v=1769106879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-style-and-its-origins-howard-barker-9781840027181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
