{"product_id":"9781937658755","title":"a body, in spite: a slight philosophy for actors","description":"Philosopher-playwright Alain Jugnon’s a body, in spite introduces this prolific French author to an English-speaking readership. The aphorisms that comprise this slight philosophy for actors are an inventoried body with and without its defenses. With incisive humor, Jugnon casts his intellect into the many-organed world, to draw from its semantic recesses a sort of divine putrescence. This work, written for the stage, and received as a presage, reads like an autobiography of Nietzsche’s last laugh. This bilingual edition features an afterword by the translator.","brand":"Nightboat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033781977328,"sku":"9781937658755","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781937658755_p0.jpg?v=1763662546","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781937658755","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
