The twist: as much as Aviva wants a child, she is wary of technological conception, and has poured her ambivalence into her music. As the album makes its way in the world, the shock of the response from fans and critics is at first exciting--and then invasive and strange. Aviva never wanted to be famous, or did she? Meanwhile, her evolving obsession with another iconic musician, gone too soon, might just help her make sense of things. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold over the course of nine menstrual cycles, \u003ci\u003eHuman Blues\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold, brainy, darkly funny, utterly original interrogation of our cultural obsession with childbearing. It's also the story of one fearless woman at the crossroads, ruthlessly questioning what she wants and what she's willing--or not willing--to do to get it.","brand":"Elisa Albert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43133116121315,"sku":"9781982167868","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/products\/9781982167868-us.jpg?v=1657903380","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/human-blues","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
