{"product_id":"city-of-dis-randall-james-tyrone-9781680034325","title":"City of Dis: A Novel-In-Verse Volume 40","description":"Randall James Tyrone's debut collection \u003ci\u003eCity of Dis\u003c\/i\u003e is a searing exploration of contemporary existence intertwined with medieval notions of damnation, invoking Dante's \"Inferno\" to craft a modern-day epic. Doubling as a novel-in-verse, \u003ci\u003eCity of Dis\u003c\/i\u003e follows the unnamed protagonist as they navigate a cityscape that is both a circle of hell and also the urban sprawl of 21st-century America. Amidst the cacophony of sirens, construction, and hurricanes fueled by climate change, Tyrone weaves a tapestry where pop culture, late-stage capitalism, and the daily struggles imposed by inequities of race and class in this urban inferno collide with arcane theology, existential dread, and something like divine comedy. Through forms ranging from epistolary to litany, Tyrone's speaker charts every chaotic inch of this dystopian landscape, encountering Dante himself as they confront the personification of Suicide. \u003ci\u003eCity of Dis\u003c\/i\u003e stands not only as a vivid critique of modern society but also as a haunting testament to resilience in the face of spiritual and environmental decay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randall James Tyrone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680034324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680034325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs","brand":"Randall James Tyrone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974634000639,"sku":"9781680034325","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6752e5e-08a1-417b-a4bf-7a61e0c30986.jpg?v=1750875606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/city-of-dis-randall-james-tyrone-9781680034325","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
