{"product_id":"scubadivers-and-chrysanthemums-bill-freind-9781848611849","title":"Scubadivers and Chrysanthemums: Essays on the Poetry of Araki Yasusada","description":"Araki Yasusada, allegedly a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, had his work published posthumously and in translation in the mid-1990s. The work was widely praised and seemed to fuse traditional Japanese forms and themes with more innovative North American techniques and a sprinkling of French critical theory. However, Yasusada was an invention, and while no one claimed responsibility for the work, most readers agree that Kent Johnson was the creator, although Johnson insists the actual author is Tosa Motokiyu, the pseudonym for an unnamed writer who is now dead. This book considers all aspects of the Yasusada phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Freind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848611846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848611849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Bill Freind","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057087967487,"sku":"9781848611849","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2aed9ad-0739-46aa-8e70-a03d41048800.jpg?v=1685044961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scubadivers-and-chrysanthemums-bill-freind-9781848611849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
