{"product_id":"final-girl-daphne-gottlieb-9781887128971","title":"Final Girl","description":"Final Girl -- the last girl left alive in the syntax of the \"slasher\"-- traces the history of the femme fatale in a sequence of poems and stories that display the verve and wit readers have come to expect from Gottlieb. In Final Girl Gottlieb is the survivor, the one who remains to tell the story: what was done to others, what was done to her, what might yet be done to her.\u003cbr\u003eSexy and tart, dark and comic, low-down and high-hearted poems such as Suture, Slash, Vamp, Bride of Reanimator and The Babysitter Gottlieb identifies and articulates the desires, fears, traumas, both personal and social, out of which pop culture is made...and then she feeds pop culture back to itself.\u003cbr\u003eThough the slasher flick is central, Gottlieb finds resonances in sources as disparate as the early American captivity narrative, queer and feminist film theory, and her own mother's death from breast cancer. Through such iconic American figures as Mary Rowlandson, Marilyn Monroe and Patty Hearst, Gottlieb delineates the ways in which we're betrayed by our cultural fantasies about abduction, gender, literature, pleasure, and transgression--and, in so doing, synthesizes the death and life of the American female.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daphne Gottlieb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1887128972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781887128971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 6.51w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Triangle Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/17\/2003 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2003 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 16","brand":"Daphne Gottlieb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978742628607,"sku":"9781887128971","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5ec19b9-7f6a-41fa-8b47-b24aeca505e5.jpg?v=1683242843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/final-girl-daphne-gottlieb-9781887128971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
