{"product_id":"angst-helene-cixous-9781739371777","title":"Angst","description":"A woman replays her abandonment by her mother, who is sometimes addressed as a male mother-god. She is also abandoned by her lover, to whom she is in thrall. She tries repeatedly to make or receive phone calls with the beloved figures, without success. She waits for their letters and imagines their contents. In a dream-like, torrid sequence, suffering, fear, fatigue and imperfection are apostrophised. Forgetting is examined and toyed with from every angle. Mythical hybrid creatures are invoked: a snake-headed lion, wolf-snakes, a wolf-peacock. How did this come to be? In a cunningly, wittily wrought rush, the unique, unpredictable voice of the narrator speaks from multiple perspectives to express powerful anguish and, ultimately, catharsis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helene Cixous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739371771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739371777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Helene Cixous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48154222854399,"sku":"9781739371777","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fe7ba8d-6999-4a55-b9ea-7837b21eeaa3.jpg?v=1770788720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/angst-helene-cixous-9781739371777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
