{"product_id":"9781068591891","title":"The Site of Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Site of Memory describes Toni Morrison's work of literary archaeology. She offers insights into how she arrives at a text through the act of imagination bound up with memory and shows how she explores two worlds - the actual and the possible - via the nimbus of emotion surrounding the journey of an image: from picture to meaning to text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExploring the radical possibilities of literature and the limits of history, Morrison finds a truth deeper than documentation in the silences and omissions in African American narratives of the past. Fiction, for Morrison, is a practice of ethical restoration: a means to recover what history has neglected through the 'flooding' of a rush of imagination. In The Site of Memory, ancestral presence, emotion and imagination converge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49897983803640,"sku":"EB_LI0200_E09-08_SYDNEY","price":22.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781068591891-1.jpg?v=1788594734","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781068591891","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
