{"product_id":"autoportrait-9781564787071","title":"Autoportrait","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this brilliant and sobering self-portrait, Edouard Lev? hides nothing from his readers, setting out his entire life, more or less at random, in a string of declarative sentences. \"Autoportrait\" is a physical, psychological, sexual, political, and philosophical triumph. Beyond \"sincerity,\" Lev? works toward an objectivity so radical it could pass for crudeness, triviality, even banality: the author has stripped himself bare. With the force of a set of maxims or morals, Lev?'s prose seems at first to be an autobiography without sentiment, as though written by a machine--until, through the accumulation of detail, and the author's dry, quizzical tone, we find ourselves disarmed, enthralled, and enraptured by nothing less than the perfect fiction... made entirely of facts.\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 03\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564787071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Best Translated Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edouard Leve, Edouard Lev, Aedouard Levae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659936526492,"sku":"9781564787071","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2c4348a6-26db-452f-8efa-9b452f3bc301.jpg?v=1603895728","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/autoportrait-9781564787071","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
