{"product_id":"city-of-torment-9781914990014","title":"City of Torment","description":"\u003ci\u003eCity of Torment \u003c\/i\u003eis, on one level, a family and generational novel, conveyed through the complex voice of a first-person female narrator whose subjectivity becomes elaborately intertwined with the main protagonist, Eliska Beránková (Lamb). Eliska\/Daniela is searching above all for her dead father, but also for her dead mother and ultimately for herself. At the same time, on a more abstract level, Hodrová introduces a feminine structural dimension to a theme especially prevalent in 20th-century prose - the novel as a self-conscious genre, openly exploring the relationship of the author to her text. Hodrová's trilogy represents a distinct contemporary Czech voice in women's experimental writing, a genre first introduced to anglophone readers by Virginia Woolf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13037367\"\u003eDaniela Hodrova\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jantar Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.43w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914990014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914990013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jantar Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44701799710957,"sku":"9781914990014","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_eadd9978-2fa4-4ffb-85b6-a2c42ae598bf.jpg?v=1703877173","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/city-of-torment-9781914990014","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
