{"product_id":"nicolas-pages","title":"Nicolas Pages By Dustan, Guillaume","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn ode to mad love, awarded the Prix de Flore in 1999.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 1999 and awarded that year’s Prix de Flore, \u003ci\u003eNicolas Pages\u003c\/i\u003e marks a departure from the Sadean preoccupations of Guillaume Dustan’s first three novels; it is, in essence, a love story. Inspired by a failed romance with the Swiss artist-writer Nicolas Pages and collaging texts that Dustan initially produced for a wide variety of other occasions (magazine articles, short stories, project notes, shopping lists, and more), the “auto-\/bio-\/porno-graphic” prose of Nicolas Pages is by turns trashy and encyclopedic, corporeal and philosophical. Here Dustan inaugurates a “gay literature” that is no longer painful or shameful, but epicurean and cheerful without ever lapsing into idealism. A vibrant plea for gay rights and a tapestried text that is more than the sum of its many styles, \u003ci\u003eNicolas Pages\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to explore the body, sexuality, and writing in all their variety; it is a hymn to life, humanity, pleasure, and desire.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57574685639038,"sku":"NW9781635901948","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781635901948.jpg?v=1783115037","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/nicolas-pages","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
