It recognizes that all localness is part of humanness, and that the dominance of one sort of humanness to the exclusion of another sort diminishes all humanness, representing both loss and the degradation of the whole. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 February 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloodaxe Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis captivating book delves into the irreducible essence of what it means to be human in a world that undergoes constant change while exhibiting a remarkable pattern of repetition. Through the use of evocative images that transcend fleeting fashion trends and delve into the archetypal, the author evokes a profound connection within us, transcending the boundaries of superficiality. While the landscape portrayed is familiar to the author, they occasionally venture beyond, always mindful of the ever-present companion of fear and the undeniable presence of joy. The title of the book carries a resonance reminiscent of Samuel Beckett's iconic line, \"I must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on,\" encapsulating a sense of despair mingled with an unwavering belief in the enclosing light. Claire Askew has aptly observed that the author's work constitutes a dark and resplendent hymn to mortality, recognizing that all forms of localness are integral to humanness. It acknowledges the harmful consequences of privileging one type of humanness over others, as this exclusivity diminishes the richness and diversity of human experience, representing both a loss and a degradation of the entire human tapestry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 136g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 141 x 215 x 14 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781780377018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerry Hardie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45224239333626,"sku":"9781780377018","price":8.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1708707719395_book.jpg?v=1708716714","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/we-go-on-9781780377018","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
