{"product_id":"hearing-trumpet","title":"Hearing Trumpet","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn old woman enters into a fantastical world of dreams and nightmares in this surrealist classic admired by Björk and Luis Buñuel.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeonora Carrington, painter, playwright, and novelist, was a surrealist trickster par excellence, and \u003ci\u003eThe Hearing Trumpet\u003c\/i\u003e is the witty, celebratory key to her anarchic and allusive body of work. The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a man-made apocalypse that promises to usher in the earth's rebirth. In between we are swept off to a most curious old-age home run by a self-improvement cult and drawn several centuries back in time with a cross-dressing Abbess who is on a quest to restore the Holy Grail to its rightful owner, the Goddess Venus. Guiding us is one of the most unexpected heroines in twentieth-century literature, a nonagenarian vegetarian named Marian Leatherby, who, as Olga Tokarczuk writes in her afterword, is hard of hearing but full of life.","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46609592221865,"sku":"PHBK-9781681374642","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/content_ff3a810e-1212-4136-a066-bb5ab85cc928.jpg?v=1764715869","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/hearing-trumpet","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
