{"product_id":"kate-obrien-mentxaka-9781913087357","title":"Kate O'Brien","description":"This new book provides a significant introduction and critical survey of the diverse works of Kate O'Brien (1897 - 1974) the Irish novelist, playwright, film-script writer, short-story writer, journalist and biographer. Her novels in particular promoted gender equality and a greater understanding of gender diversity. \/ This study introduces students to Kate O'Brien as an artist and an activist woman in the world. It studies her normative and non-normative representations of sexualities and affects, typically embodied in a young woman who happens to fall as a clog into the crushing social machine. The book offers a discussion of her work's political contents and effects, including her leftist commitments and issues of censorship. \/ Aintzane Legarreta Mentxaka's theoretical lenses include feminist, queer, postcolonial, and anti-authoritarian analysis, as well as the critical assessment of criticism originating in them. \/ Contents: Introduction, focusing on the grid-like structure of Kate O'Brien's thematic and stylistic concerns. A biographical sketch placing Kate O'Brien's artistic and personal development and choices in their historical and geographical context. Three chapters discussing three areas identified as crucial in Kate O'Brien's work: aesthetics, sexuality, and politics. A brief Conclusion, sketching potential areas for further investigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mentxaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913087352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913087357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Everett Root\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Mentxaka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213294563583,"sku":"9781913087357","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bb6eed0-3ead-460d-b550-5955325d54f0.jpg?v=1692113084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kate-obrien-mentxaka-9781913087357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
