In the center of the book is a twelve-part narrative, \"Alice in the Wasteland,\"inspired by Lewis Carroll's great character and T.S. Eliot's 1922 modernist poem. Alice is accosted by an invisible Voice as she wanders and wonders about the nature of language in relation to perception. In this volume, Lauterbach again shows the range of her formal inventiveness, demonstrating the visual dynamics of the page in tandem with the powerful musical cadences and imagery of a contemporary master.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Lauterbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143115200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143115205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.18w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2009 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/20\/2009 pg. 33","brand":"Ann Lauterbach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135224332543,"sku":"9780143115205","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89a20cea-7731-4c6d-a4cc-e3fdcb133993.jpg?v=1755009503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/or-to-begin-again-ann-lauterbach-9780143115205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
