{"product_id":"garielle-lutz-backwardness-9781940853505","title":"Backwardness","description":"Backwardness is a selection of heartbreakingly hilarious excerpts from an epistolary and notebook chronicle, spanning half a century, of working-stiff miserabilia and the dark enchantments of life as a misfit. First published in 2024 by SF\/LD Books, this is a revised and expanded reissue.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Out of those gray middling years of the late twentieth century is etched this unlikely portrait of a genuine queerdo, back before anyone knew what that was-let alone Lutz herself. [ . . . ] Reading this book fundamentally alters one's understanding of the author's short stories, with their self-deprecating narrators erecting exasperatingly droll and verbose linguistic monuments out of the banalities of their everyday lives-and gives us Lutz herself as a character, inherently lovable through the smog of her flaws.\"-Art Forum\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Garielle Lutz is one of America's great writers. Why has her literary genius gone unnoticed?\"-The Nation","brand":"Calamari Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53757848289622,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/garielle-lutz-backwardness-9781940853505","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
