{"product_id":"9781910956069","title":"Time Pieces","description":"In three very different kinds of writing, this short book tackles various facets of the curious problems of time. A reflexive essay probes what it is that we are measuring when we try to consider our familiar time-based cultural activities. A review of a very ambitious but unwritten book investigates how we might radically change the way we spend our working time. And a satirically deconstructive reading of one of Derrida's most influential essays suggests an alternative approach even to our thinking about time. \u003cbr\u003eRanging from an anticipation of the implications of 3-D printing to a critique of the politics of deconstruction and a reconsideration of 'socially necessary labour time' this brief work will take only an hour to read but a long time to assimilate.\u003cp\u003ePraise for Sharratt's previous work :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.. an absolutely important first-rate book -Terry Eagleton \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.. fascinating, entertaining, . . very impressive-David Lodge \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.. the most richly-packed book by an English critic in recent years-Nicholas Tredell \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.. astonishing, powerful, playful, brilliantly clever and attractive-Fred Inglis \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Crisis Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039492882672,"sku":"9781910956069","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781910956069_p0.jpg?v=1763629585","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910956069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
