{"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":"Default Title","offer_id":48833677099213,"sku":"9780811229302","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_b275aafa-9d6e-43c0-80d9-e2940d643fc6.jpg?v=1790892781","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/three-streets","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
