{"product_id":"carbon-dreams-9780911385205","title":"Carbon Dreams","description":"Human truth and pride, pressure-cooked in modern civilization, are treated with understanding and irony in the collected works of the author, who examines the structures of civilization, from ruined buildings to bakery thrift stores, as well as social problems, including the loss of amenity and the decline of civility. She addresses homelessness, nuclear proliferation, pornography, suicide, arson, imprisonment, and exploration. The author uses her own experience as a doctor to treat the experiences of disease and death. She draws on her experiences as a social worker in drug abuse clinics. She transforms her own experiences of being poor and homeless into strange commentaries. She writes with the voices of childless cowgirls, native American dogs, and frustrated academics (in \"Saturday Night\/Academics in Love\"). But she also writes to the experiences of mathematicians (Godel) and alchemists. She pretends to be a clairvoyant meter reader and a telephone operator handling transtemporal phone calls. She pretends to be a monster, a victim of torture, a killer, farmer, and prophet. She solves the mysteries of El Greco's lost journals and of the end of the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Violet Reason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mozart \u0026amp; Reason Wolfe, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780911385205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the author, violet reason, obviously a name used to protect a reputation earned in a different field of activity in the mainstream of the unstoppable machine-anything else you need to know about her can be found through her writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mozart \u0026 Reason Wolfe, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40840853028979,"sku":"9.78091E+12","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1e7b34f5-89d3-442a-a0e4-2d79395c9fc8.jpg?v=1685537802","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/carbon-dreams-9780911385205","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
