In their earlier hybrid essay, \u003ci\u003eA Prank of Georges\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), Thalia Field and Abigail Lang returned us to \"the primal force of language: naming\" (Susan Howe). In \u003ci\u003eLeave to Remain\u003c\/i\u003e, a weathered Janus pursues an elusive quest, responding to a world of war, traitors, translations, and the slippery personal and political terrain between friends and enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis silly and deadly serious fiction-essay aims at nothing less than a full inquiry into how monstrous we are when we define loyalties and defend definitions, and how we are all double-agents seeking meaning and intelligence. Unafraid of being both timeless and timely, \u003ci\u003eLeave to Remain\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the reader to play in the world of folded imagery and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42700889391167,"sku":"9781628972849","price":19.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3f380d8f2e76b1b5e8090baae44e85cf.webp?v=1765018550","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/leave-to-remain-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
