{"product_id":"chantal-maillard-killing-plato-9780811228992","title":"Killing Plato","description":"The two sequences of this book form a braided ars poetica: \"Killing Plato\" and \"Writing.\" The first is a numbered sequence of twenty-eight poems organized around an accident: a pedestrian has been hit by a truck and is dying in the middle of the road. Various characters appear-the philosopher Michel Serres, Robert Musil, a woman smoothing out her stocking, the truck driver, a boy on a balcony, the Spanish poet Jesús Aguado. At the bottom of the page another tale unfolds: a woman bumps into an old friend, a male poet who has written a book called Killing Plato about \"a woman who has been knocked over by the force of a sound.\" \"Writing,\" the second part, unfolds as a lyrical meditation on mortality and literary production.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53806812823894,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/chantal-maillard-killing-plato-9780811228992","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
