It is filled with choices--made, to be made, not made--handled with a poetic understanding that what seems arbitrary will be inevitable when said with the right words while singing the right songs. This is a stand-out first book, introducing a first-rate original talent, doing powerful work, making quintessentially lyrical choices. Don't miss this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Dara Wier \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"It seems that Jack Christian's brain is able to produce tiny lucid creatures, have them run and sprinkle over a map of an unknown world with joy, speed and delight. Even stranger, he's somehow the spiritual offspring of very different ancestors: Pascal's Esprit de Geometrie and Scandinavian mythology. 'I was eulogizing a squirrel in a shoebox.' Brilliant.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Tomaz Salamun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Christian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885635273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885635273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Jack Christian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448012386559,"sku":"9781885635273","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_883bb447-08e9-40d8-9527-ab7d417aec1c.jpg?v=1777236303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/family-system-jack-christian-9781885635273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
