{"product_id":"lithium-malen-denis-paperback","title":"Lithium -- Malén Denis, Paperback","description":"Malén Denis's \u003cem\u003eLithium\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel about what cannot be fully named or pinned down. \"Language in this book,\" the author notes, \"acts as a \u003cem\u003epharmakon\u003c\/em\u003e--both poison and remedy--inviting the reader to navigate its ambivalence. I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot.\" \u003cem\u003eLithium\u003c\/em\u003e employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (\u003cem\u003eI'm waiting for news from you\u003c\/em\u003e). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malén Denis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811239059","brand":"Malén Denis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47893073330404,"sku":"9780811239059","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9780811239059.jpg?v=1770788598","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/lithium-malen-denis-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
