{"product_id":"dothead-amit-majmudar-9781101947098","title":"Dothead: Poems","description":"\u003cb\u003eA captivating, no-holds-barred collection of new poems from an acclaimed poet and novelist with a fierce and original voice\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eDothead\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of selfhood both intense and exhilarating. Within the first pages, Amit Majmudar asserts the claims of both the self and the other: the title poem shows us the place of an Indian American teenager in the bland surround of a mostly white peer group, partaking of imagery from the poet's Hindu tradition; the very next poem is a fanciful autobiography, relying for its imagery on the religious tradition of Islam. From poems about the treatment at the airport of people who look like Majmudar (\"my dark unshaven brothers \/ whose names overlap with the crazies and God fiends\") to a long, freewheeling abecedarian poem about Adam and Eve and the discovery of oral sex, \u003ci\u003eDothead\u003c\/i\u003e is a profoundly satisfying cultural critique and a thrilling experiment in language. United across a wide range of tones and forms, the poems inhabit and explode multiple perspectives, finding beauty in every one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amit Majmudar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101947098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101947098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Amit Majmudar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980843647231,"sku":"9781101947098","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23cd863e-e78f-45cd-8a5c-d2e8d513ed53.jpg?v=1683252209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dothead-amit-majmudar-9781101947098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
