Since the first-person speaker is unmistakably Val ry, the dialogue is perhaps more than anything else a wry self-portrait of a spare, dapper, and nervous figure whose feverish mind seldom allows him to rest--or anyone else to talk. The Collected Works of Paul Val ry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/69/129/287/0691292876_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "65.00", "online_price" : "65.00", "our_price" : "65.00", "club_price" : "65.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
