{"product_id":"whitmans-secret-staircase-at-howth-desmond-kon-9781300607175","title":"Whitman's Secret Staircase at Howth","description":"\"Whitman's Secret Staircase at Howth\" is the sixth and final outing under the JayJay Jouissance Series by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé. The JayJay Jouissance Series is composed of several conceptualist novellas, each taking on an image from an episode in Joyce's Ulysses for its title. This installment takes its image from \"Penelope\". For Jacques Lacan, \"jouissance\" is not mere \"enjoyment\", but rather \"painful pleasure\". JayJay is \"the funny and lovable person in the room everyone can't help but adore\". Its initialized form \"JJ\" means \"Just Joking\". It is also a pseudonym for the modernist writer James Joyce. This book has its text written on texture, the visual or implied texture of one empty page after another. It is an invitation to fill in the blanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Desmond Kon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1300607173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781300607175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Desmond Kon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48484857315583,"sku":"9781300607175","price":88.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d53ea79e-391f-46f4-8fbc-2742683b299f.jpg?v=1778046333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whitmans-secret-staircase-at-howth-desmond-kon-9781300607175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
