{"product_id":"the-trojan-women-by-anne-carson-9781780375908","title":"The Trojan Women","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new comic-book version of Euripides' classic \u003cem\u003eThe Trojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e follows the fates of Hekabe, Andromache, and Kassandra after Troy has been sacked and all its men killed. \u003cem\u003eThe Trojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e is a wildly imaginative collaboration between the visual artist Rosanna Bruno and the poet and classicist Anne Carson. Both wacky and devastating, the book gives a genuine representation of how human beings are affected by warfare. All the characters take the form of animals (except Kassandra, whose mind is in another world).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnne Carson collaborated with artist Bianca Stone on a Sophokles reimagining, \u003cem\u003eAntigonick\u003c\/em\u003e, published by Bloodaxe in 2012. This new collaboration with Rosanna Bruno couldn't be more different. Rosanna Bruno is an artist who makes paintings, comics, and bad puns. Her first book, \u003cem\u003eThe Slanted Life of Emily Dickinson\u003c\/em\u003e (2017), is a book of cartoons based on the myth of Dickinson's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnne Carson's mainstream poetry books are published in the UK by Jonathan Cape. Her most recent collection, \u003cem\u003eRed Doc\u0026gt;\u003c\/em\u003e, won the Griffin Poetry Prize and was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize (as were three earlier Cape collections). Bloodaxe does not have North American rights for this title, which is published in the US by New Directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464696873196,"sku":"9781780375908","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781780375908-the-trojan-women.jpg?v=1775051126","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-trojan-women-by-anne-carson-9781780375908","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
