{"product_id":"contraband-of-hoopoe-ewa-chrusciel-9781890650995","title":"Contraband of Hoopoe","description":"Contraband of Hoopoe explores issues of dislocation, immigration and desire. Chrusciel invents a poetics of smuggling as she crosses national, historical and linguistic borders. The migratory narrative is distinctly errant, haunted by a childhood lived under a Communist regime, by the austerity of Eastern block politics, and by the possibility of discovering a fleeting language to carry the seeds of illicit revelation, spiritual transformation, and insight. The book elevates smuggling to a noble art, recording how the Jewish people were hidden and transported during the Holocaust. Chrusciel tracks a series of historical objects and secret messages that immigrants throughout history have been sneaking through customs, past border checkpoints, and across the seas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ewa Chrusciel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890650994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890650995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.02w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014","brand":"Ewa Chrusciel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519583596799,"sku":"9781890650995","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b281f450-0409-4331-a1c7-ff303a4dbcc2.jpg?v=1778737780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contraband-of-hoopoe-ewa-chrusciel-9781890650995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
