This work stands as a culmination of Hejinian's lifelong exploration of thought's infrastructure, threading through her oeuvre from \u003ci\u003eA Thought is the Bride of What Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e to\u003ci\u003e My Life\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e A Border Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e, to this, her last book. What perhaps marks \u003ci\u003eLola\u003c\/i\u003e as a work of late style, of new experimentalism even at the twilight of Hejinian's life, is the extent to which the interpretation that at first seems to be generated out of discrete events transcends its ostensible occasion and becomes philosophy more broadly, a philosophy poised between a necessary skepticism toward the given or imposed and a life-affirming commitment to the emergent possibilities within the ever-shifting and uncertain domain of daily existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819501783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Lyn Hejinian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730107826357,"sku":"9780819501783","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c1ed551c-f92d-45dd-8e0f-42edd2d13ca0.jpg?v=1758004166","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lola-the-interpreter-9780819501783","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
