{"product_id":"autoportrait-1","title":"Autoportrait","description":"In this brilliant and sobering self-portrait, Edouard Lev? hides nothing from his readers, setting out his entire life, more or less at random, in a string of declarative sentences. \"Autoportrait\" is a physical, psychological, sexual, political, and philosophical triumph. Beyond \"sincerity,\" Lev? works toward an objectivity so radical it could pass for crudeness, triviality, even banality: the author has stripped himself bare. With the force of a set of maxims or morals, Lev?'s prose seems at first to be an autobiography without sentiment, as though written by a machine--until, through the accumulation of detail, and the author's dry, quizzical tone, we find ourselves disarmed, enthralled, and enraptured by nothing less than the perfect fiction... made entirely of facts.","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54006310371672,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781564787071_e73b8631-c5db-4eac-99bc-d6ff00b690eb.jpg?v=1765279556","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/autoportrait-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
