However, in a new sequence derived from family letters, Freud has invented almost a new kind of writing: neither ‘found’ nor ‘made’ in the conventional sense, these poems are profoundly moving, and startling in their boldly unfashionable lack of irony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Elsewhere \u003ci\u003eThe Mirabelles\u003c\/i\u003e is full of the world-stuff – the clothes and food, the art and social intrigues – with which we dress and conceal our deeper emotions and appetites. In the end, this is a book about reality and its representations, and the truth and lies we tell about ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32051761021011,"sku":"","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780330519076_5335bf65-4041-4c4e-a65e-67aa0226af2b.jpg?v=1769148934","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-mirabelles","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
