ISBN: 9780679454397.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis first novel from an award-winning poet -- a #1 best-seller in Canada -- is certain to propel her into the front ranks of our very best practitioners of contemporary fiction.\n\nIt is a story of World War II as remembered and imagined by one of its survivors: a poet named Jakob Beer, traumatically orphaned as a young child and smuggled out of Poland, first to a Greek island (where he will return as an adult), and later to Toronto. It is the story of how, over his lifetime, Jakob learns the power of language -- to destroy, to omit, to obliterate, but also to restore and to conjure, witness and tell -- as he comes to understand and experience what was lost to him and of what is possible for him to regain.\n\nProfoundly moving, brilliantly written -- as sensual and lyric as it is emotionally resonant -- Fugitive Pieces delves into the most difficult workings of the human heart and mind: the grief and healing of remembrance. It is a first novel of astonishing achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429513359413,"sku":"ByrdShop_067945439X","price":26.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679454397_b4b946ad-9187-429e-b264-bfc74aa07906.jpg?v=1784344057","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/fugitive-pieces-9780679454397","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
