{"product_id":"mauve-desert-9781552451724","title":"Mauve Desert","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1987, Nicole Brossard's classic novel returns to Coach House in a new edition. A seminal text in Canadian and feminist literature, \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for readers and writers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is both a single novel and three separate novels in one. In the first, \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e, fifteen-year-old M lanie drives across the Arizona desert in a white Meteor chasing fear and desire, cutting loose from her mother and her mother's lover, Lorna, in their roadside Mauve Motel. In the second book, Maudes Laures reads \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e, becomes obsessed with it, and embarks on an extraordinary quest for its mysterious author, characters and meaning. The third book - \u003ci\u003eMauve, the horizon\u003c\/i\u003e - is Laures's eventual translation of Mauve Desert. Like all good translations, it is both the same and revealingly different from the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicole Brossard's writing is agile and inventive; from moment to moment gripping, exhilarating and erotic. Her language drifts and swells like sand dunes in a desert, cresting and accumulating into a landscape that shifts like wind and words; she translates the practice of translation, the pulse of desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552451724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Nicole Brossard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38471953678517,"sku":"9781552451724","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7af04fac-da0d-4315-a8b1-288e59eedb28.jpg?v=1612933064","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mauve-desert-9781552451724","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
