This author would beg to differ ­- to him, it feels like magnetic tape. In \u003cem\u003eThe Magnetic Labyrinth\u003c\/em\u003e, his second book, Baldan returns often to the past, as in his debut, \u003cem\u003eThe Going Places Club\u003c\/em\u003e. But this time he turns his focus inward, to his personal history, and a lineup of subjects that have formed the basis of his thought since early youth - literature, mathematics, and music. The latter in particular has been a lifelong fascination, and provides a recurring motif in this book, in the form of mix tapes that he has made for friends for forty years. These lead to a number of self-realizations. Along the way, Baldan weaves a memoir studded with offbeat reminiscences - and lots of song lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185686528249,"sku":"9780578579337","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TTl4ckhJSXhSUEE5cHB1MnRVNmpNZz09_ff701a4b-b534-40ae-9b01-9e03bce1dc84.webp?v=1767819754","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-magnetic-labyrinth-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
