These poems, combining a biting wit and  rigorously questioning mind with a surreal imagination, are a vital part  of the story of postwar Europe.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181567820016,"sku":"9781681371610","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681371610_p0.jpg?v=1763692567","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681371610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
