{"product_id":"9780815611851","title":"The Man of Middling Height by Fadi Zaghmout","description":"What if our society's deepest prejudices weren't about race, gender, or sexuality-but height? In his groundbreaking allegorical novel, acclaimed Jordanian author and activist Fadi Zaghmout imagines just such a world, crafting a powerful meditation on discrimination and desire that speaks directly to our contemporary debates about identity and inclusion.   The Man of Middling Height follows a short dressmaker whose life is upended when she meets Tallan, a man whose middle height places him outside the rigid tall\/short binary that governs their society. As their forbidden romance blossoms, they must navigate a world where height determines everything from social status to romantic possibilities. Through their story and those of surrounding characters-including a short person in a polyamorous relationship with two tall partners, and a tall activist who scandalously loves another tall person-Zaghmout deftly reframes contemporary discussions about gender identity and sexuality through the lens of height discrimination.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294900793717,"sku":"9780815611851","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780815611851.jpg?v=1762766425","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780815611851","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
