In their earlier hybrid essay, \u003ci\u003eA Prank of Georges\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), Thalia Field and Abigail Lang returned us to \"the primal force of language: naming\" (Susan Howe). In \u003ci\u003eLeave to Remain\u003c\/i\u003e, a weathered Janus pursues an elusive quest, responding to a world of war, traitors, translations, and the slippery personal and political terrain between friends and enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis silly and deadly serious fiction-essay aims at nothing less than a full inquiry into how monstrous we are when we define loyalties and defend definitions, and how we are all double-agents seeking meaning and intelligence. Unafraid of being both timeless and timely, \u003ci\u003eLeave to Remain\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the reader to play in the world of folded imagery and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 01\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628972849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Thalia Field, Abigail Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663074979996,"sku":"9781628972849","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9463a9a7-bb6d-4571-8696-3eba11dbc4c2.jpg?v=1603903491","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/leave-to-remain-9781628972849","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
