{"product_id":"9781907133831","title":"A Creature of Transformation","description":"From needle-sprouting cactus skin to a middle-aged body that begins to turn into a university, Manchester author James Hodgson's first pamphlet offers four short stories about mutation and evolution that take being itself to be a supple and slippery thing. These stories engage with metamorphosis both as a metaphysical consequence of being but also as a literary act of defiance and self-determination. Queer men of different stripes undergo transformations in their search for wholeness and meaning, with results that are surreal, visceral and political. Sexiness is monstrous and monstrosity is sexy here ? for queer desire is also at the heart of each of these stories, and is often the catalyst for change. James Hodgson is a bold new voice, and a worthy winner of the inaugural Superbia Chapbook Competition. In these stories he bristles, contorts and swerves, proving that his is a voice to listen out for in future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJames Hodgson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eDog Horn Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 15, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e32 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1907133836\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781907133831\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dog Horn Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46701820117297,"sku":"9781907133831","price":12.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781907133831.jpg?v=1690380847","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781907133831","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
