{"product_id":"master-of-the-eclipse-9781623717117","title":"Master of the Eclipse","description":"\u003cb\u003eA collection of stories about displacement, love, loss, poetry and war, from the Lebanese poet and painter who has been called \"arguably the most celebrated and accomplished Arab-American author writing today\" (Melus). \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stories in \u003ci\u003eMaster of the Eclipse\u003c\/i\u003e are populated by filmmakers, poets, girls, professors, and prostitutes who live in Beirut, Paris, Sicily, California, Saddam's Iraq, and New York. The world of these stories is ours, with the same occupations and wars--a \"world that would be a cemetery\" were it not also a place where taxis are \"yellow flowers floating down the avenues.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the collection's title story, a long meditation on history and war, power and poetry, to its concluding tale, a strangely quiet vision of a tree floating in a Damascus stream, Etel Adnan's painterly vision, her cosmopolitan flexibility, and her philosophical bent are on full display. This is a woman, after all, trained in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, and the University of California at Berkeley, who became a painter, and then a poet. Her voice comes to us as something the opposite of her title: She is a master of light and revelation, of language, variety, and color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Etel Adnan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interlink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.33w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623717117","brand":"Interlink Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41207759798387,"sku":"9.78162E+12","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_afe66c3b-6895-4a8e-9472-dd720746eeac.jpg?v=1704812473","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/master-of-the-eclipse-9781623717117","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
