{"product_id":"surreal-south-09-9780982576014","title":"Surreal South '09","description":"\"Sublimity, as we choose to define it, is that quality a story possesses when it is, in its entirety, completely unpredictable as well as completely inevitable and authentic.... A story-a real story, of the type that we've gathered here; not the mock-stories, the painless, bloodless vignettes that make up so much of today's \"literary\" fiction-involves apocalypse. Apocalypse means a revelation (the literal meaning of the word apocalypse is a \"lifting of the veil\"), and a very specific type of revelation: the destruction of an old order, followed by a time of disorder and chaos, and the replacement of the old order by a new and entirely different order.... Sublimity and apocalypse. Anti-rationality and surreality. The call for the literary artist is nothing less than to reveal and remake everything; and the writers whose work you are about to experience have boldly answered that call. We invite you to abandon to its well-deserved fate the wreckage of the rational, and to enjoy.\" - from the Introduction, by Laura \u0026amp; Pinckney Benedict\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Benedict\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Press 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982576014\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Press 53","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43059575685235,"sku":"9.78098E+12","price":30.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d814dbc0-3b18-4a71-b1e1-abae778bc0c0.jpg?v=1747309188","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/surreal-south-09-9780982576014","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
