{"product_id":"a-bead-of-amber-on-her-tongue-9781632430694","title":"A Bead of Amber on Her Tongue","description":"Helen of Troy and Aphrodite: two classical paragons of beauty and love. These two figures have served as the inspiration for innumerable works of art in the Western cannon. In the twenty-first century, however, what do their stories provide but a reminder of the predictable roles which sexism has assigned women throughout history and literature?\u003cbr\u003e In this fresh new take on the two women's stories, Jennifer Pullen takes us away from the familiar and deeper into their experiences. Rewriting Homer, Pullen revitalizes these two figures for the contemporary era. In \u003ci\u003eA Bead of Amber on Her Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e, Aphrodite maintains autonomy through her experience of her own body, even when forced into marriage. Helen of Troy, meanwhile, harbors a love for her maid, Esme, that no conquering hero can vanquish. Revisiting these classic stories with an inventive twist, Pullen shows that, with a little imagination, the classics may yet bear new insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632430694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Jennifer Pullen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181305262261,"sku":"9781632430694","price":5.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_348a099d-d3d0-46ab-964f-e157ac219795.jpg?v=1768922614","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-bead-of-amber-on-her-tongue-9781632430694","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
