{"product_id":"9781643621517","title":"Prescribee by Chia-Lun Chang","description":"An arch, precise collection of poems that casts world-historical hierarchies in an aspic mold and serves them back to us on a warped platter.   Reading Prescribee is not dissimilar to the experience of coming across a recipe in a vintage American cookbook: it transforms the familiar ingredients of contemporary life into an uncanny, discomfiting concoction. Wielding English as a foreign language and medium, Chang redefines the history of Taiwan and captures the alienation of immigrant experience with a startlingly original voice. Flouting tired expectations of race, gender, nationality, and citizen status, Prescribee is as provocative as it is perceptive, as playful as it is sobering.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302783791477,"sku":"9781643621517","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781643621517.jpg?v=1762793271","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781643621517","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
