{"product_id":"the-posthumous-life-of-rw-jean-frzsmon-9781890650711","title":"The Posthumous Life of R.W.","description":"As Jean Fr mon describes, \"He muses, he mopes, he immerses himself in atlases, he recites the names of lakes, he observes insects, he listens to the sounds of fountains, he reads Leibniz. This man, known here by the initials of a name that is not his own, is not without a certain resemblance to the writer Robert Walser. He could almost be his avatar, his emanation, his apparition.\" Who is he? Or, more important, who is the I of these first-person vignettes? Walser? Fr mon? or the translator? This layering of voices is echoed through the bilingual presentation of these short, musing prose poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Frémon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890650714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890650711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.11h x 5.54w x 0.23d","brand":"Jean Frémon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431400657151,"sku":"9781890650711","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96f99877-bcac-4514-8472-16b881637099.jpg?v=1735141210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-posthumous-life-of-rw-jean-frzsmon-9781890650711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
