In To Compare, Zhang navigates the quagmire of transnational life, where one is always both here and away. \"Has language\/passed you by\/like a curvy city\/or shielded\/and isolated you, \/an illuminated vehicle\/against the flooding\/tenors of light?\" Zhang writes in To Compare, reflecting on the nature of translation--both linguistic and otherwise-- as a way of life. Disjunctive, alluring, To Compare poetically represents our contemporary age.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Fonograf Editions","offers":[{"title":"To Compare | Xuela Zhang | Paperback | 9781964499468 | New | Poetry 1760956","offer_id":49229588824216,"sku":"1760956","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81kg4Pjn9HL.jpg?v=1781219414","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/to-compare","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
