{"product_id":"three-streets","title":"Three Streets","description":"The 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.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":52344924307672,"sku":"9780811229302","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/0369\/4552\/files\/imageloader_785f2d60-a2b1-4f03-ae90-e942ed481867.jpg?v=1788291033","url":"https:\/\/bigredbooks.shop\/products\/three-streets","provider":"Big Red Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
