{"product_id":"kill-marguerite-and-other-stories-megan-milks-9780989473606","title":"Kill Marguerite and Other Stories","description":"\"Kill Marguerite and Other Stories\" collects thirteen risk-taking stories obsessed with crossing boundaries, whether formal or corporeal. Narrative genres are giddily mongrelized: the Sweet Valley twins get stuck in a choose-your-own-adventure story; Mean Girls-like violence gets embedded within a classic video game. Protagonists cycle through a series of startling, sometimes violent, changes in gender, physiology, and even species, occasionally blurring into other characters or swapping identities entirely. One woman metamorphoses into a giant slug; another quite literally eats her heart out; a wasp falls in love with an orchid; and a Greek god impregnates a man s thigh with a sword. More than just a straightforward celebration of the carnivalesque, though, these fictions are deeply engaged, both critically and politically, with the ways that social power operates on, and through, queer bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Milks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0989473600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989473606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emergency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist","brand":"Megan Milks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992616927487,"sku":"9780989473606","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_529fb95a-3e09-4393-a5a9-a0d3f599d63a.jpg?v=1683319876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kill-marguerite-and-other-stories-megan-milks-9780989473606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
