At the heart of the whole floats Medusa, an androgynous central awareness that anchors the novel throughout. La Medusa is at once the city of Los Angeles, with its snaking freeways and serpentine shifts between reality and illusion, and a brain-a modern mind that is both expansive and penetrating in its obsessions and perceptions.Vanessa Places characters-a trucker and his wife, a nine-year-old saxophonist, an ice cream vendor, a sex worker, and a corpse, among others-are borderless selves in a borderless city, a city impossible to contain. Her expert ventriloquism and explosive imagination anchor this epic narrative in language that is fierce and vibrant, a penetrating a cross-section of contemporary Los Angeles and a cross-section of the modern mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67782623559968,"sku":"USED1573661457","price":28.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41hsq7mRULL.jpg?v=1792058165","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/la-medusa-1573661457-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
