{"product_id":"the-long-form","title":"The Long Form","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's early morning and there's a whole new day ahead. How will it unfold? The baby will feed, hopefully she'll sleep; Helen looks out of the window. The Long Form is the story of two people composing a day together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a day of movements and improvisations, common and uncommon rhythms, stopping and starting again. As the morning progresses, a book - The History of Tom Jones by Henry Fielding - gets delivered, and the scope of the day widens further. Matters of care-work share ground with matters of friendship, housing, translation, aesthetics and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall incidents of the day revive some of the oldest preoccupations of the novel: the force of social circumstance, the power of names, the meaning of duration and the work of love. With lightness and precision, Kate Briggs renews Henry Fielding's proposition for what a novel can be, combining fiction and essay to write an extraordinary domestic novel of far-reaching ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2023\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 480\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9781804270325\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 1804270326\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Briggs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44539098988810,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781804270325.jpg?v=1683370707","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-long-form","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
