His journey to Tierra del Fuego and New York ends, ultimately, in San Francisco, where Judy is committed to a mental institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuperficially, Sam’s journey is a standard quest, thwarted by his lover’s madness. But his \"real\" journey—a maze of internal perceptions with surrogates of himself and Judy at every turn—is an exploration of how we are sometimes animated by the identities of others. In this work, Eisenstein struggles with a concept of \"twins\" or \"duplicates\" on a metaphysical and epistemological level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eThe Inner Garden, Price of Admission \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRectification of Eros\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003cb\u003eSam Eisenstein \u003c\/b\u003e lives and teaches in Pasadena, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Green Integer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060999405808,"sku":"9781931243452","price":11.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781931243452_p0.jpg?v=1763638317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931243452","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
