However, in a new sequence derived from family letters, Freud has invented almost a new kind of writing: neither ‘found’ nor ‘made’ in the conventional sense, these poems are profoundly moving, and startling in their boldly unfashionable lack of irony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Elsewhere \u003ci\u003eThe Mirabelles\u003c\/i\u003e is full of the world-stuff – the clothes and food, the art and social intrigues – with which we dress and conceal our deeper emotions and appetites. In the end, this is a book about reality and its representations, and the truth and lies we tell about ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107151069424,"sku":"9781447218210","price":10.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781447218210_p0.jpg?v=1763825715","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781447218210","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
