{"product_id":"9781778430794","title":"The Bee Book by Stephen Cain","description":"A surreal story of honeyed sweetness, predatory stings, and metamorphosis.   In a coming-of-age story inspired by second-wave feminism, the intelligent and curious Habella confronts her passions and those of the men around her. From her first period, to unsettling sexual encounters, to her dissatisfying life as a mother and wife, The Bee Book follows Habella as she negotiates the complexities of her desires as they conflict with the oppressive norms of patriarchy. In this genre-defying work that brings together fiction, poetry, visual art, games, and more, we follow Habella-deeply inspired by the lives of bees-as she seeks self-liberation.   Originally published in 1981, this new edition features an introduction by Stephen Cain and Eric Schmaltz.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369145151861,"sku":"9781778430794","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781778430794.jpg?v=1763552245","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781778430794","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
