{"product_id":"mean","title":"Mean","description":"\u003cp\u003eGurba is an extraordinary performer with an enthusiastic spoken word fan base, and the Mean's voice-driven quality should appeal to them directly. Rather than a memoir, this is a nonfiction novel, a la How Should a Person Be-Gurba's life provides the plot points, but a novelistic impulse provides the frame. Gurba turns what might be tragic into piercing, revealing comedy, differentiating between \"classic\" (stranger rape) and \"avant garde\" (molestation by a classmate) sexual assault in a way that's in your face and unforgettable. Race, class, gender, and sexuality all break open in unexpected ways in Gurba's hands.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a confident, funny, brassy book that takes the cost of sexual assault, racism, misogyny, and homophobia deadly seriously.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: 2017, USA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9781566894913\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 1566894913\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Myriam Gurba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44829771497738,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781566894913.jpg?v=1698586155","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/mean","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
