{"product_id":"three-streets","title":"Three Streets","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe always astonishing Yoko Tawada here takes a walk on the supernatural side of the street. In \"Kollwitzstrasse,\" as the narrator muses on former East Berlin's new bourgeois health food stores, so popular with wealthy young people, a ghost boy begs her to buy him the old-fashioned sweets he craves. She worries that sugar's still sugar--but why lecture him, since he's already dead? Then white feathers fall from her head and she seems to be turning into a crane . . . Pure white kittens and a great Russian poet haunt \"Majakowskiring\": the narrator who reveres Mayakovsky's work is delighted to meet his ghost. And finally, in \"Pushkin Allee,\" a huge Soviet-era memorial of soldiers comes to life--and, \"for a scene of carnage everything was awfully well-ordered.\" Each of these stories opens up into new dimensions the work of this magisterial writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52225673756954,"sku":"N9780811229302","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/9462\/2234\/files\/9780811229302.jpg?v=1778893661","url":"https:\/\/honnomoribooks.com\/products\/three-streets","provider":"Honnomori Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
