{"product_id":"9781496207197","title":"A Certain Loneliness : A Memoir (American Lives)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter contracting polio as a child, Sandra Gail Lambert progressed from braces and crutches to a manual wheelchair to a power wheelchair-but loneliness has remained a constant, from the wild claustrophobia of a child in body casts to just yesterday, trapped at home, gasping from pain. A Certain Loneliness is a meditative and engaging memoir-in-essays that explores the intersection of disability, queerness, and female desire with frankness and humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Lambert presents the adventures of flourishing within a world of uncertain tomorrows: kayaking alone through swamps with alligators; negotiating planes, trains, and ski lifts; scoring free drugs from dangerous men; getting trapped in a too-deep snow drift without crutches. A Certain Loneliness is literature of the body, palpable and present, in which Lambert's lifelong struggle with isolation and independence-complete with tiresome frustrations, slapstick moments, and grand triumphs-are wound up in the long history of humanity's relationship to the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49598629314787,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781496207197","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
