Less so to sudden and acute morphological transformation. But the newly re-opened Consulate of X-ppe is about to change all of that. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Consulate of X-ppe in the Republic of Z-rthe has always been a morose and gloomy place. Now, however, it is also an unstable place, as its functionaries and its attachés, its translators and its hangers-on won't stop mutating. Not enough that the daughter of the Consul General has dwindled to a shriveled, anthropomorphic rock, the size, roughly, of a pint glass. Not enough that a truckload of joyriding Marines, having provoked the ire of a glue-addled little girl, has been transformed into a pod of beached and frantic dolphins. Additionally, a beloved disciple of the Economic Affairs Liaison has developed a skin disease that has left him looking distinctly botanical. Not to mention the tragic and fiery end to the boy who attempted to drive his chauffeur-father's Cadillac. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Douglas Adams with a mean streak or Robert Graves in a whimsical mood, T. Edward Abbott has reconfigured eight classic myths of exile and transfiguration into a collection of playful stories shot through with disquieting humor and dark anxiety. A feast of magical disorientation, \u003ci\u003eExile\u003c\/i\u003e cuts to the heart of what, precisely, is horrible about wishing to become a tree.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53751171973427,"sku":"9781955290036","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/4J81xm4hFI9781955290036.webp?v=1785280407","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/exile-or-a-tale-of-enchantment-in-eight-parts-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
