He fell into the habit of sending Elsa several letters a day  a situation she accepted under one condition: he was forbidden to write about love. Zoo  or Letters Not about Love is an epistolary novel born of this constraint  and although the brilliant and playful letters contained here cover everything from observations about contemporary German and Russian life to theories of art and literature  nonetheless every one of them is indirectly dedicated to the one topic they are all required to avoid: their authors own unrequited love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959456919605,"sku":"ByrdShop_1564783111","price":72.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781564783110.jpg?v=1770374163","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/zoo-or-letters-not-about-love","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
