They go beyond sophistication to reveal the passionate and suffering animal within. \u003cb\u003eThe Reinvention of the Human Hand\u003c\/b\u003e is a poetry of the human body’s experience, of a primal being that struggles to assert itself, or perhaps just survive, in a world of metals, plastics, electronics. Here is the most far-reaching work yet by the acclaimed author of \u003cb\u003eBurn\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Fat Kid\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eBetween the Walls\u003c\/b\u003e. Vermeersch has always gone in search of understanding. Now his discoveries speak of a human world exhausted by its divorce from an animal past, terrified of retreating into early places it never truly left, astonished by the forgotten possibilities disclosed there.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213854830847,"sku":"9780771087431","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771087431_s600x595.jpg?v=1782323475","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780771087431","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
