{"product_id":"socialist-realism-trisha-low-9781566895514","title":"Socialist Realism","description":"When Trisha Low moves west, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive “somewhere better”—someplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America’s casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. In this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one's life comes to the fore—sliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won't find. Attempting to reconcile her desires with her radical politics, she asks: do our quests to fulfill our deepest wishes propel us forward, or keep us trapped in the rubble of our deteriorating world?","brand":"Coffee House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51443476037920,"sku":"9781566895514","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781566895514.jpg?v=1780949710","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/socialist-realism-trisha-low-9781566895514","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
