{"product_id":"my-husband-dacia-maraini-9780889204324","title":"My Husband","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Italy, as in most Western cultures, the 1960s was a dynamic and turbulent decade of social change. Dacia Maraini, in this short story collection, explores the vexing, tragic, and often humorous experiences of women living in modern urban Italy. \u003cbr\u003e With a style as lean as Samuel Beckett's, and a love of the absurd that rivals Eugène Ionesco, Maraini's stories are both poignant and wickedly funny. The writer's ironic lens zooms in to examining sexual relations, working conditions, women's issues, and family dynamics, illuminating the lives of an entire generation. With classic existential angst, Maraini's characters are often profoundly dissatisfied with their situations, but also ill-equipped to initiate any real change. This feminist version of the absurd is deliciously wry and terrible. The stories have a real bite. \u003cbr\u003e Originally published as \u003ci\u003eMio marito\u003c\/i\u003e in 1968, this is the first English translation of \u003ci\u003eMy Husband\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dacia Maraini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889204322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889204324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Dacia Maraini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483736649983,"sku":"9780889204324","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f185c7a-1ddc-4a6e-a518-96621b43d1c8.jpg?v=1778040320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-husband-dacia-maraini-9780889204324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
