{"product_id":"the-book-of-margins-9780226388892","title":"The Book of Margins","description":"The death of Edmond Jabès in January 1991 silenced one of the most compelling voices of the postmodern, post-Holocaust era. Jabès's importance as a thinker, philosopher, and Jewish theologian cannot be overestimated, and his enigmatic style--combining aphorism, fictional dialogue, prose meditation, poetry, and other forms--holds special appeal for postmodern sensibilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Margins, \u003c\/i\u003e his most critical as well as most accessible book, Jabès is again concerned with the questions that inform all of his work: the nature of writing, of silence, of God and the Book. Jabès considers the work of several of his contemporaries, including Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Roger Caillois, Paul Celan, Jacques Derrida, Michel Leiris, Emmanuel Lévinas, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and his translator, Rosmarie Waldrop. This book will be important reading for students of Jewish literature, French literature, and literature of the modern and postmodern ages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in Cairo in 1912, Edmond Jabès lived in France from 1956 until his death in 1991. His extensively translated and widely honored works include \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Questions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Shares\u003c\/i\u003e. Both of these were translated into English by Rosmarie Waldrop, who is also a poet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReligion and Postmodernism series \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13288223\"\u003eEdmond Jabès\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.57w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226388892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226388891\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-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004150\"\u003eEuropean | French\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL040000\"\u003eJudaism | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44564688896237,"sku":"9780226388892","price":56.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_653328e0-f528-4399-9da6-602b41f26422.jpg?v=1701854323","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-margins-9780226388892","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
