Characterized by multilingual punning, humor puerile and set-theoretical, philosophical irony and narrative handicaps, Eugene Ostashevsky's new large-scale project draws on sources as various as early modern texts about pirates and animal intelligence, old-school hip-hop, and game theory to pursue the themes of emigration, incomprehension, untranslatability, and the otherness of others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugene Ostashevsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681370905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681370903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Eugene Ostashevsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937197654271,"sku":"9781681370903","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5f5e2cf6-19bc-4828-96e0-9a2cb3dbde91.jpg?v=1681428679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pirate-who-does-not-eugene-ostashevsky-9781681370903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
