{"product_id":"the-alphabet-of-aliens-9781774152010","title":"The Alphabet of Aliens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dreamlike, eerily atmospheric prose poems in this collection interrogate margins and melt points of migrancy. Intensely personal, funny, enchanting, and fantastical, it is at once an ambitious autobiography and a dream book, a diary and a field guide. Here, the hybridity of the form serves both as a device of subversion and as an ocular pointing at space and stars, forests and rivers, rupture and belonging. Here wounds multiply in a potato. The soul can be photographed. A mirror hides in a discarded baguette. A phantomlike empty coat in Bardo becomes a bloated pumpkin. The mood is playful, the tone deliberately whimsical, giving voice to discourses on passage, arrival and the rootlessness of migrant diasporas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774152010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Sabyasachi Nag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51844016668853,"sku":"9781774152010","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4f3837d6-3d45-48f9-bac1-003ae596b1eb.jpg?v=1759848779","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-alphabet-of-aliens-9781774152010","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
