{"product_id":"the-dolls-alphabet","title":"The Doll's Alphabet","description":"\u003cp\u003eSurreal, ambitious and exquisitely conceived, \u003cem\u003eThe Doll's Alphabet\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of stories in the tradition of Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood. Dolls, sewing machines, tinned foods, mirrors, malfunctioning bodies - many images recur in stories that are in turn child-like and naive, grotesque and very dark. In 'Unstitching', a feminist revolution takes place. In 'Waxy', a factory worker fights to keep hold of her Man in a society where it is frowned upon to be Manless. In 'Agata's Machine', two schoolgirls conjure a Pierrot and an angel in a dank attic room. In 'Notes from a Spider', a half-man, half-spider finds love in a great European city. By constantly reinventing ways to engage with her obsessions and motifs, Camilla Grudova has come up with a method for storytelling that is highly imaginative, incredibly original, and absolutely discomfiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 192 pages | Published February 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63968854475101,"sku":"9781910695371","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781910695371.jpg?v=1774362869","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/the-dolls-alphabet","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
