Setting out to ‘heal the old rifts-- \/ heaven and earth, girl \/ and dream,’ Spaar records the rituals of a tribe we recognize chiefly by its fierce determination to survive—girls, bent first on perfection, then, on returning from the banishment of our preoccupation with their bodies, their beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“What a marvel this book is! In language that manages to be both ardent and elegant, Spaar gives witness to marvelous mythologies in which ‘the old story: \/ the world for my body, \/ my body for the world,’ is cancelled in a moment’s reckoning, and Rapunzel saves herself.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e—Dorothy Barresi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Russ Spaar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48287058428155,"sku":"9781597097987","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781597097987.jpg?v=1772485243","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/glass-town-9781597097987","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
