How to un-melt the melted? How to turn the ground powder back into a person? This idea points to a knowledge that I don''t have: how to love without losing the self.''Plumbing the well of culture for clues about love and loss - from Agnes Martin''s abstract paintings to Anne Carson''s Eros the Bittersweet to Frank Ocean''s Blonde - this brilliant work of debut nonfiction explores the state of falling in love, whether with a painting or a person. Pham creates a perfectly fractured portrait of modern intimacy, triumphant in its vulnerability and restlessness. Pop Song is a book about distances: the miles we travel to get away from ourselves, or those who hurt us, and the impossible gaps that can exist between two people sharing a bed.Here is a map to all the routes by which we might escape our own needs before finally finding a way home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58606735163776,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/71nXjhZT9EL._SY522.jpg?v=1785766324","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/larissa-pham-pop-song-adventures-in-art-and-intimacy","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
