{"product_id":"requiem-curtis-white-9781564783080","title":"Requiem","description":"\u003cp\u003eRequiem is a darkly comic novel about what it means to be human in a culture obsessed with sex and death. With a structure loosely based on the Mass for the Dead, this ambitious novel includes letters-to-the-editor, an e-mail correspondence with a porn queen, scenes from the lives of classical musicians, and retellings of biblical stories. In the process, White charts the rise and fall of the Human from the Bible (pre-human), to the Enlightenment (the invention of the human), to the digital age (post-human). In an America where everyone keeps a secret website, and where a modern Prophet can only weep at the stories he hears, Requiem reveals our past, present and future with wit, sadness, and complete honesty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curtis White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564783081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564783080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2001 pg. 1323\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/08\/2001 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 461\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 177\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curtis White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068610474239,"sku":"9781564783080","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54779d8f-aa5c-44ec-907f-961b326d122f.jpg?v=1685420002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/requiem-curtis-white-9781564783080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
