{"product_id":"9781804270325","title":"The Long Form - Kate Briggs","description":"It's early morning and there's a whole new day ahead. How will it unfold? The baby will feed, hopefully she'll sleep; Helen looks out of the window. The Long Form is the story of two people composing a day together. It is a day of movements and improvisations, common and uncommon rhythms, stopping and starting again. As the morning progresses, a book - The History of Tom Jones by Henry Fielding - gets delivered, and the scope of the day widens further. Matters of care-work share ground with matters of friendship, housing, translation, aesthetics and creativity. Small incidents of the day revive some of the oldest preoccupations of the novel: the force of social circumstance, the power of names, the meaning of duration and the work of love. With lightness and precision, Kate Briggs renews Henry Fielding's proposition for what a novel can be, combining fiction and essay to write an extraordinary domestic novel of far-reaching ideas.","brand":"Kate Briggs","offers":[{"title":"480 pages \/ 12\/04\/2023 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57565195272567,"sku":"9781804270325","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804270325.jpg?v=1792318662","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804270325","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
