{"product_id":"9781847083982","title":"Blackouts : A Novel - Justin Torres","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuan Gay lies dying in a room in The Palace: a monumental, fading institution in the desert. There, a young man cares for him - someone whom Juan met only once, but who has haunted the edges of his life ever since. As the end approaches, the two trade stories - resurrecting lost loves, mothers and fathers - and their lives are woven, ineluctably, into a broader story of sexuality, pathology and oppression. And, through their conversations, another story is told: that of the radical queer anthropologist Jan Gay, whose groundbreaking work was co-opted, and stifled, by the committee she served. Blending fact with fiction, and drawing on oral histories and historical records, screenplay, testimony and image, Blackouts is a haunting, dreamlike rumination on memory and erasure - on the ways in which stories sustain histories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Justin Torres","offers":[{"title":"320 pages \/ 01\/08\/2024 \/ Of specific Gay \u0026 Lesbian interest","offer_id":56971185914231,"sku":"9781847083982","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781847083982.jpg?v=1781004329","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781847083982","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
