{"product_id":"the-woman-dies","title":"The Woman Dies","description":"Tales from Japan that blend humor, surrealism, and sharp societal critique, by the acclaimed author of Where the Wild Ladies Are\n“Piercing and sometimes surreal... Matsuda shines.”—Publishers Weekly\nIn The Woman Dies, renowned author Aoko Matsuda approaches often-thorny subjects such as sexism, prejudice, the normalizing effect of violence against women on screen, or the aesthetics associated with technology, with an inventiveness and quirky humor that keep these stories on the thrilling cusp between seriousness and levity.\nWordplay evolves into something much more complex, inanimate objects are endowed with their own point of view, and hard-hitting feminist stances are conveyed with a dry, detached humor that makes them even more undeniable.\nNot so much a rollercoaster ride, rather an entire theme park, The Woman Dies is an out-of-the ordinary space readers will step into with feelings of wonder and discombobulation in equal parts.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DVPSPD4F\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0DVPSPD4F.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Matsuda, Aoko|Barton, Polly\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
