{"product_id":"9780773591769","title":"Some Dance","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"To be able to pry apart: \/ this is object, this is subject \/ even though (confusion begins) \/ he can be both. Difficult then \/ to stand at the mirror and reflect: \/ I am this. This is what I am.\" Some Dance is a meditation on stories, the intersection of stories, of things made up, of things imagined, and of things lived - perhaps. Tricks played by memory, scrambling events from life with fiction, are a constant. Ricardo Sternberg seeks a fixed point from which to understand the world, but finds no resolution save for another poem. Everything is in flux, unstable, and leads to unexpected places: a commune in the 1960s, a drunken doctor who deals in contraband, a palm reader, a classroom visited by Jesus, a dance in a darkened kitchen. A lively collection that turns towards the commonplace, classical, and strange, Some Dance masterfully balances serious thought, big ideas, and good humour through surprising, elegant, and colloquial expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MQUP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127460053232,"sku":"9780773591769","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780773591769_p0.jpg?v=1763662291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780773591769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
