{"product_id":"hitting-the-streets-raymond-queneau-9781847771575","title":"Hitting the Streets","description":"Taxi drivers, street sweepers, a bouquiniste, unsuccessful prostitutes, a menaced bicycle rider, noisy children, an old woman shunted aside in a crowd, and some disgruntled animals at the zoo populate these poems. Unreeling like a series of clips recorded during a stroll through Paris, the book is wickedly funny, but it is also a bittersweet meditation on how \"the river of forgetfulness carries away the city.\" This is the poet's love letter to Paris--a Paris that is always in the process of becoming superannuated. Rachel Galvin's lively, idiomatic version is the first complete translation available in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Queneau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847771572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847771575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Raymond Queneau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938966634751,"sku":"9781847771575","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d5999822-f40c-480a-81e1-64388afe26a8.jpg?v=1681438721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hitting-the-streets-raymond-queneau-9781847771575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
