Writing has a redemptive effect, and is sometimes the only way out of despair: her 'ballpoint pen is equal to god'. This collection encompasses elements of surreality, captivating the reader with unexpected imagery. There is wistfulness, too, but Iuga is never bitter, and an undertone of irony is ever-present.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nora Iuga, Diana Manole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910981281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910981283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naked Eye Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.25d","brand":"Nora Iuga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133182996735,"sku":"9781910981283","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9872c17b-a0ea-4c10-a5fd-c5fae629a1cc.jpg?v=1687484571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dangerous-caprices-nora-iuga-9781910981283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
