{"product_id":"man-of-middling-height","title":"Man of Middling Height","description":"What if our society’s deepest prejudices weren’t about race, gender, or sexuality—but height? In his groundbreaking allegorical novel, acclaimed Jordanian author and activist Fadi Zaghmout imagines just such a world, crafting a powerful meditation on discrimination and desire that speaks directly to our contemporary debates about identity and inclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Man of Middling Height\u003c\/i\u003e follows a short dressmaker whose life is upended when she meets Tallan, a man whose middle height places him outside the rigid tall\/short binary that governs their society. As their forbidden romance blossoms, they must navigate a world where height determines everything from social status to romantic possibilities. Through their story and those of surrounding characters—including a short person in a polyamorous relationship with two tall partners, and a tall activist who scandalously loves another tall person—Zaghmout deftly reframes contemporary discussions about gender identity and sexuality through the lens of height discrimination.","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54637961118040,"sku":"9780815611851","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780815611851_aaec3834-def4-46ad-b617-f1e79200ea13.jpg?v=1778660128","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/man-of-middling-height","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
