{"product_id":"annotations-9780811213042","title":"Annotations","description":"An experimental first novel of poem-like compression, \u003cem\u003eAnnotations\u003c\/em\u003e has a great deal to say about growing up Black in St. Louis. Reminiscent of Jean Toomer's \u003cem\u003eCane\u003c\/em\u003e, the book is in part a meditation on African-American autobiography. Keene explores questions of identity from many angles--from race to social class to sexuality (gay and straight). Employing all manner of textual play and rhythmic and rhetorical maneuvers, he (re)creates his life story as a jazz fugue-in-words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.27w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/1995 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1995 pg. 1301\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/1995 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/1995 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Keene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067644182709,"sku":"9780811213042","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f8880884-548a-4bd1-8f61-5640390fdb39.jpg?v=1690862090","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/annotations-9780811213042","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
