G. Sebald, Anna Akhmatova, Primo Levi, and Albert Einstein. The poetry and portraits join together in a dialogue that can be read in any direction and any order, in a format that perfectly reflects the thematic interconnectedness of this collaboration: \"an alphabet of spirits and spirit; an elegy of remembrance\" (Eisenstein); \"just as a conversation becomes the third side of the page . . . the moment one life becomes another\" (Michaels).","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43373608173823,"sku":"9780307962492","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307962492_s600x595.jpg?v=1782314592","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780307962492","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
