Description for Glass, Irony and God
paperback. Features 'Short Talks' that are about everything from Sylvia Plath to Franz Kafka, from waterproofing to walking backwards. Num Pages: 152 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 198 x 130 x 13. Weight in Grams: 166.
Anne Carson' s first full-length publication in Britain, Glass and God introduces an assured and challenging new voice: vivid, laconic, precise. Her 'Short Talks' are about everything from Sylvia Plath to Franz Kafka, from waterproofing to walking backwards; the brilliant long poem 'The Glass Essay' deals with the end of a contemporary love affair, but is haunted by the Brontë sisters.
Blending the modern and the classical, Anne Carson writes with an intensity and an integrity that is transfiguring.
