{"product_id":"dahlias-iris-leslie-scalapino-9781573661119","title":"Dahlia's Iris: Secret Autobiography and Fiction","description":"Detectives are investigating the death of Dahlia Winter's husband and also looking into the mysterious deaths of young boys who are imported for labor in a future-time San Francisco. Citing the plots of \u003ci\u003eInvasion of the Body Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTerminator 2\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Blade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e as proof that our sense of inner and outer is tied to rebellion and slavery, the novel appears at first to be a detail of these films all at once, like a colonization of them from the inside. But almost immediately the plot assumes its own life. Based on a conception of the Tibetan written form called Secret Autobiography--which is not the chronological events or actions of a life, but an individual's seeing outside any frames--the novel makes a time-space in which sensation, actions, and thought-memory are occurring alongside our present-day space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Scalapino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573661112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573661119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FC2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.60w x 0.41d","brand":"Leslie Scalapino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485621367039,"sku":"9781573661119","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1fd2bfd-9484-422a-803f-62dd86cf60a7.jpg?v=1778050442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dahlias-iris-leslie-scalapino-9781573661119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
