These texts are fun, funny, moving, melancholic and full of games, Ruefle’s voice and style enacting a playful magic that allows us to query art and ourselves in equal measure. Bringing together for the first time three of Mary Ruefle's collections of prose – The Most of It, My Private Property and The Book – Golden Crumbs is a first UK publication for one of America's greatest living poets and essayists. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE CLEEVE BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510300221815,"sku":"9781804272824","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0729\/3737\/files\/9781804272824.jpg?v=1791189942","url":"https:\/\/thecleevebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781804272824","provider":"The Cleeve Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
