{"product_id":"julio-robalo-opens-the-door-to-his-mouth","title":"Julio Robalo Opens the Door To His Mouth","description":"Julio Robalo is a teacher and a poet, or rather a poet who has yet to begin to express himself. He lives in a district somewhere South of the border that is ruled by a dictator known only as “The Person in Charge,” who has outlawed teaching, turned the local school into a beauty parlor, regularly “disappears” people, and has turned the local town into a village of informants. Set in a time of pandemic, this is also a love story: Julio is in love with Fatima Marie, who is married to another man. Written with Tewkesbury’s characteristic wit and humor, this novel is a kind of fable for our times, both humorous and tragic, with stories of people who live under the horrors of fascism and yet persist to find love and meaning in a chaotic world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0998344370\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0998344370.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tewkesbury, Joan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397587140669,"sku":"BVV.0998344370.VG","price":11.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0998344370-0.jpg?v=1784927873","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/julio-robalo-opens-the-door-to-his-mouth","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
