Calling it \"a masterpiece of the young American novel,\" Lepape declared it was \"the confirmation of a great American writer who, in the hall of American literary glories, takes the place left vacant by the death of Hemingway.\" Lepape went on to speak of the \"incredible verbal virtuosity\" by which the reader is led through this \"laby-reve,\" and it is this image of the \"labyrinth-dream\" which relates \u003cem\u003eHer\u003c\/em\u003e to the anti-novels of the young French school of Robbe-Grillet and Butor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Being thus very far from the kind of novels produced by Ferlinghetti's immediate contemporaries (whether Beat or academic) this book has met with little but bafflement among American critics. With well over 50,000 now in print \u003cem\u003eHer\u003c\/em\u003e nevertheless continues to make its own way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Ferlinghetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811200426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811200424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/1960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.22w x 0.43d","brand":"Lawrence Ferlinghetti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180142452991,"sku":"9780811200424","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc948dbf-472d-4eae-8023-5b29600ed560.jpg?v=1712897586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/her-lawrence-ferlinghetti-9780811200424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
