{"product_id":"to-compare-9781964499468","title":"To Compare","description":"A bracing and variegated debut, Xuela Zhang's To Compare inhabits the fraught condition of living in and through translation in the age of globalization, social media, and the Chinese-American neo-Cold War. In To Compare, Zhang navigates the quagmire of transnational life, where one is always both here and away. \"Has language\/passed you by\/like a curvy city\/or shielded\/and isolated you, \/an illuminated vehicle\/against the flooding\/tenors of light?\" Zhang writes in To Compare, reflecting on the nature of translation--both linguistic and otherwise-- as a way of life. Disjunctive, alluring, To Compare poetically represents our contemporary age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonograf Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781964499468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Xuela Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302323974325,"sku":"9781964499468","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9aba057e-42f5-460f-b0b3-af90172839c6.jpg?v=1772553001","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/to-compare-9781964499468","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
