In poetic prose, Yanara Friedland weaves together dreamscapes, historical fragments, personal recollections, and philosophical inquiry to explore the afterlives of loss and survival. Moving through rooms, cities, forests, and archives, the text becomes a living document of insomnia, exile, and the spectral presence of women across time, including artists, revolutionaries, caretakers, and ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured in four sections titled Room, Night, Medusas, and Burials, the book traverses inner and outer landscapes, from Berlin's haunted streets to the intimate terrain of the body. Friedland's voice is both lyrical and incisive, drawing on figures such as Unica Zürn, Rosa Luxemburg, and Else Lasker-Schüler to illuminate the intersections of gender, violence, and historical erasure. The result is a deeply embodied poetics of wakefulness, where hidden life remembers and speaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThanatographies\u003c\/i\u003e is written for readers of experimental literature, feminist theory, and contemporary poetics. The book resonates with artists, scholars, and seekers who are compelled by the aesthetics of mourning, the politics of memory, and the radical potential of language to hold what is otherwise unspeakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yanara Friedland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573662178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573662178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FC2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Yanara Friedland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014212530431,"sku":"9781573662178","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d86628c-55a7-49b9-a20c-7bfcfa063ad7.jpg?v=1767747372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thanatographies-yanara-friedland-9781573662178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
