{"product_id":"blood-of-requited-love-manuel-puig-9780816635351","title":"Blood of Requited Love","description":"This inventive novel is a series of questions and confessional answers, an internal dialogue between Josemar, a construction worker, and Maria, a privileged young woman. Looking back at the teenage passion they shared from the remove of ten years, they try to reconstruct their story despite the obstacles of time's passage, societal disapproval, and family pressure. See in a provincial Brazilian town, Blood of Requited Love explores memory and its failing, self-deception and its costs, and the hidden manacles of machismo. Back in print after being unavailable for several years, this novel is a moving work that combines the high drama of pulp fiction with Puig's acclaimed, incisive writing style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manuel Puig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816635358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816635351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 8.48w x 0.68d","brand":"Manuel Puig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075834245375,"sku":"9780816635351","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4a81890-abfd-43d6-87f8-ea912f72639c.jpg?v=1685461714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-of-requited-love-manuel-puig-9780816635351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
