{"product_id":"jenny-diski-9781526157683","title":"Jenny Diski","description":"This is the first book-length study of Jenny Diski's work, offering a bold and original account of a writer whose fiction and non-fiction together form a sustained project. Ben Grant approaches Diski's work thematically, examining recurring concerns in her writing on self-portraiture, sex, illness, Jewishness, travel and animals. The book demonstrates how Diski consistently reworks the genres she writes within, including the novel of ideas, memoir and travel writing, and establishes her as a major contemporary author whose thinking takes place as much in narrative form as in argument. Combining close readings with archival research, this study reveals a writer who is both singular and finely attuned to her historical moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Contemporary British Novelists\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526157683","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405767618697,"sku":"9781526157683","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_aac8c262-c0c5-4228-a25b-a71ed63ee26a.jpg?v=1790058917","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/jenny-diski-9781526157683","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
