{"product_id":"9781782271208","title":"1914 - Goodbye to All That: Writers on the Conflict Between Life and Art","description":"In this collection of   essays, ten leading writers from different countries consider the   conflicts  that have informed their own   literary lives. 1914-Goodbye to All That borrows its title from Robert   Graves's \"bitter leave-taking of England\" in which he writes not   only of the First World War but the questions it raised: how to live, how to   live with each other, and how to write.  \u003cbr\u003e Interpreting this title as broadly and   ambiguously as Graves intended, these essays mark the War's centenary by   reinvigorating these questions.  The   book includes Elif Shafak on an inheritance of silence in Turkey, Ali Smith   on lost voices in Scotland, Xiaolu Guo on the 100,000 Chinese sent to the   Front, Daniel Kehlmann on hypnotism in Berlin, Colm Toibin on Lady Gregory   losing her son fighting for Britain as she fought for an independent Ireland,   Kamila Shamsie on reimagining Karachi, Erwin Mortier on occupied Belgium's   legacy of shame, NoViolet Bulawayo on Zimbabwe and clarity, Ales Steger on   resisting history in Slovenia, and Jeanette Winterson on what art is for. \u003cbr\u003e Contributors include: \u003cbr\u003e Ali Smith - Scotland \u003cbr\u003e Ales Steger - Slovenia \u003cbr\u003e Jeanette Winterson - England \u003cbr\u003e Elif Shafak - Turkey \u003cbr\u003e NoViolet Bulawayo - Zimbabwe \u003cbr\u003e Colm Toíbín - Ireland \u003cbr\u003e Xiaolu Guo - China \u003cbr\u003e Erwin Mortier - Belgium \u003cbr\u003e Kamila Shamsie - Pakistan \u003cbr\u003e Daniel Kehlmann - Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Steerforth Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157655142640,"sku":"9781782271208","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782271208_p0.jpg?v=1763719551","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782271208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
