{"product_id":"amalgamemnon-9781564780508","title":"Amalgamemnon","description":"A woman about to lose her job as a professor of literature and history delivers a passionate, witty, and word-mad monologue in this inventive novel, which was called \"brilliant\" (Listener), \"dazzling\" (Guardian), and \"elegant, rueful and witty\" (Observer) upon its original publication. History and literature seem to be losing ground in the contemporary world of electronic media, and battle lines have been drawn between the humanities and technology, the first world and the third, women and men. Narrator Mira Enketei erases these boundaries in a punning monologue that blends the contemporary with the historical, and in which she sees herself as Cassandra, condemned by Apollo to prophesy but never to be believed, enslaved by Agamemnon after the fall of Troy. Here, Brooke-Rose amalgamates ancient literature and modern anxieties to produce a powerful novel about our future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564780508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.57w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/13\/1994\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Christine Brooke-Rose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659921092764,"sku":"9781564780508","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d8b6760b-1388-414f-95fe-427321e39a24.jpg?v=1603895700","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/amalgamemnon-9781564780508","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
