Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America's casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one's life comes to the fore--sliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won't find. Attempting to reconcile her desires with her radical politics, she asks: do our quests to fulfill our deepest wishes propel us forward, or keep us trapped in the rubble of our deteriorating world?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Coffee House Press","offers":[{"title":"Socialist Realism | Trisha Low | Paperback | 9781566895514 | Used: Like New | Essays 1751861 (temp: 6)","offer_id":48933244895384,"sku":"1751861","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/8143BZAg4TL.jpg?v=1777255830","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/socialist-realism","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
