{"product_id":"9781611861532","title":"The Knight and His Shadow","description":"\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant tour de force, \u003ci\u003eThe Knight and His Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e tells the tale of Lat-Sukabé’s quest to find his former lover, Khadidja, who writes him to “come before it’s too late.” As Lat-Sukabé recounts his past with Khadidja, reality shapeshifts and takes on a dreamlike quality. He describes how Khadidja is hired by a wealthy stranger to sit before an open door and tell stories into an uncertain darkness, unable to see the person to whom she speaks. Like Lat-Sukabé and Khadidja, the reader feels farther from home with every page, as the world turns and morphs. With those shifts, the symbolic order, the basis of meaning and sanity, begins to tremble. Postmodernist sensibilities meet postcolonial concerns in this lyrical novel from a master of Senegalese literature.","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057647468784,"sku":"9781611861532","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781611861532_p0.jpg?v=1763842150","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781611861532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
