{"product_id":"black-forest-9781944700904","title":"Black Forest","description":"A man decides he is old enough. A woman returns early from a lovers' retreat to a bottle of pills at home. And how should you explain the nuances of contemporary Paris to your mother, twenty - five years dead? Val rie Mr  jen 's \u003ci\u003eBlack Forest\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of mourning that isn't morbid or sentimental, but rather an elegant and wryly humorous brace against the void. With a paradoxically detached intimacy, Mr  jen follows death's dark and twisted path through the lives it touches, wringing out every possible meaning--or non-meaning-- along the way. A writer at the height of her career who draws comparisons to Georges Perec and Nathalie Sarraute, Mr  jen has cemented her status as an auteur with a singular voice, guiding us through the Black Forest of ghosts that populate her subconscious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep Vellum Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944700904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.90w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Val\u0026#233;rie Mr\u0026#233;jen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672002392220,"sku":"9781944700904","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_25ddb042-0eed-48a3-b9ab-f1d94d8140d5.jpg?v=1603926733","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/black-forest-9781944700904","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
