It is a detective story. It is a historical episode in the time of the Armada and the dislocation of Sephardic Jews from Spain to an eventual location in New York\u0026rsquo;s Lower East Side. It is a first-person narrator\u0026rsquo;s story; Charlotte\u0026rsquo;s story; and Roderigo\u0026rsquo;s; and Fifi Corday\u0026rsquo;s. It is a 150-year-old story about Oregon and the story of a house in Oregon.\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eModern Love\u003c/em\u003e\u0026rsquo;s continuity is made of flow and motion; like an experience, it accumulates as you read, at that moment, through successive moments, right to the end. An important figure of downtown New York\u0026rsquo;s performance art and burgeoning media art scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s, DeJong designed\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eModern Love\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;herself and published it with help from Dorothea Tanning on the short-lived Standard Editions imprint. Critically acclaimed in its time,\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eModern Love\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;is now back in print on the 40th anniversary of its original publication.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.primaryinformation.org/product/modern-love/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":3700,"name":"Constance DeJong","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
