A new interpretation of the Cinderella story, it is set in the then contemporary world of New York disco and takes the listener on a journey from urban isolation and deep despair to joy and vindication, all filtered through the mind of its na ve and fantasy-prone protagonist.\u003cbr\u003eAs well as charting the production of the album within the legendary Munich Machine in Germany, this book digs deep into the album's rich themes and subtexts. Approaching the book from inventive angles, the four essays within the book act as a prism connecting the reader to the classical aspirations of Eurodisco, the history of the black fairy tale and a queer knowledge that reads Summer's Cinderella tale in some surprising ways.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629806768286,"sku":"UBD-9781501355462","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501355462.jpg?v=1774221564","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501355462","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
