I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot.\" \u003cem\u003eLithium\u003c\/em\u003e employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (\u003cem\u003eI'm waiting for news from you\u003c\/em\u003e). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Lithium | John Denis, Malén; Hatry, Laura; Wronoski | Paperback | 9780811239059 | New | Fiction 1739341","offer_id":48168991391896,"sku":"1739341","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71aT1uwP2UL.jpg?v=1771983593","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/lithium","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
