{"product_id":"block-time-a-memoir-9781977229465","title":"Block Time: A Memoir","description":"A HYBRID MEMOIR: THE MERGING OF WORD AND FABRIC Imagine a story quilt, consisting of twenty-five 12\"x12\" blocks, each symbolically depicting a seminal happening in your life. The format of Block Time simulates the fashioning of such a quilt. Whereas the narration satisfies the requisite five W's of reportage (who, what, why, when, where), the fabric's figurative designs go beyond the word. Their components - e.g., color and configuration - limn what is ineffable. Stitch together the twenty-five episodes and the twenty-five blocks and you will see the essence of a life. The accounts of hauling up drinking water in a pail from a well, of a red alert just shy of the DMZ, of narrowly losing one's virginity, of a perilous journey through America's most dangerous ghetto do interrelate. A quilt is made, the stories are told, and you have a delineation of a life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977229465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.81d","brand":"Harry Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38213278597301,"sku":"9781977229465","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cd662417-5e98-4b59-a520-fbf788819db2.jpg?v=1610440058","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/block-time-a-memoir-9781977229465","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
