Here, readers are situated in conversations around citizenship, gender performance, class, race, feminism, and what it means to write \u003cem\u003enow. \u003c\/em\u003eAnd the author is less a single voice than an assembler, ventriloquizing not only present voices but also a host of earlier writers and philosophers, notably, Gertrude Stein, Viktor Shklovsky, Walter Benjamin. The result is a staggering work of insight and hope during a critical time in American politics and art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950268861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950268863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wave Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2023","brand":"Gail Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129094697215,"sku":"9781950268863","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df2442c8-0eff-484a-b62a-cadaa5644d01.jpg?v=1687462025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/furniture-music-gail-scott-9781950268863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
