Common Name goes beyond a cognitive exercise in how we allocate language, but instead asks us to physically encounter each word, ‘gasp[ing]’, ‘implod[ing]’, and ‘bubbling’ on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Osmosis Press \u0026amp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saskia McCracken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54958362100098,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_2688012.jpg?v=1793026756","url":"https:\/\/goodpress.co.uk\/products\/common-name-by-saskia-mccracken","provider":"Good Press — good books \u0026 more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
