{"product_id":"shadowplay-norman-lock-9780963753632","title":"Shadowplay","description":"In Java, a master of the shadow-puppet theater seeks to possess-by his art-a woman, who perishes as though by the contagion of his unnatural desire. Shadowplay is a meditation on story-telling as an act of seizure, a parable of obsession and of the danger of confounding the real with its representations. *** \"Stories compensate for lives unlived. They are what Norman Lock, or his avatar Guntur, calls shadows, negative reflections on a backlit screen, comprising, through artistry and brief illumination, ghosts. Lock's teller is imprisoned by darkness, captivated by warriors and princesses no longer, if ever, living. Death becomes a distance from which the voices of these unliving return. It is a journey as delicious as it is threatening.\" -R.M. Berry *** \"Wise up and get all you can of Lock. His writing was written by a writer exquisite in the singularity (read for this \"genius\") of his utterance.\" -Gordon Lish *** \"[Lock's] prose is melodial, and alert to every signal from the unseen.\" -Gary Lutz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Lock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0963753630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780963753632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellipsis Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Norman Lock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435737624831,"sku":"9780963753632","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b372ad3-3d51-4f4e-8b41-ffecf8276ecb.jpg?v=1777152377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadowplay-norman-lock-9780963753632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
