{"product_id":"angst","title":"Angst","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA woman replays her abandonment by her mother, who is sometimes addressed as a male mother-god. She is also abandoned by her lover, to whom she is in thrall. She tries repeatedly to make or receive phone calls with the beloved figures, without success. She waits for their letters and imagines their contents. In a dream-like, torrid sequence, suffering, fear, fatigue and imperfection are apostrophised. Forgetting is examined and toyed with from every angle. Mythical hybrid creatures are invoked: a snake-headed lion, wolf-snakes, a wolf-peacock. How did this come to be? In a cunningly, wittily wrought rush, the unique, unpredictable voice of the narrator speaks from multiple perspectives to express powerful anguish and, ultimately, catharsis. Foreword by Jamieson Webster\u003cbr\u003e-Silver Press Website\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHélène Cixous\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTranslator\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSophie Lewis\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilver Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8x 5 inches \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e265 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover, perfect-bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e978-1-7393717-7-7\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48362393731242,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2426\/1089\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-31at4.19.00PM.png?v=1780258746","url":"https:\/\/shop.criticaldistance.ca\/products\/angst","provider":"CDCC Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
