{"product_id":"signs-symptoms-9788086264066","title":"Signs \u0026 Symptoms","description":"Called \"the Czech Cioran\" by Andrei Codrescu, Róbert Gál is one of the freshest voices to come from Prague over the past few years. His writing is a mix of philosophy and prose poetry that explores the tenuousness of one's identity and existence. Ironical in his outlook, Gál's aim with this volume is to bring the great Romanian philosopher E. M. Cioran into the present in the same way that John Zorn, whose music provided the impetus for writing this book, brought Ornette Coleman into the present. The volume includes aphorisms and longer and shorter \"philosophical\" fragments. The photographs by Lucia Nimcová were taken specifically for this collection. As aptly described by well-known psychiatrist\/publisher Ales Pech, Nimcová's nude self-portraits act as a \"counterpoint to the philosophical denuding that is the book's basic premise.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3026205\"\u003eRobert Gal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twisted Spoon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.78w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788086264066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8086264068\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-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Twisted Spoon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44697292603629,"sku":"9788086264066","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_2d25d01c-bfda-4924-a97e-bf6b9776d5ed.jpg?v=1703815472","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/signs-symptoms-9788086264066","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
