Lots of things. And with a peculiar intensity too. Grak's contempt is so strong, in fact, that it often leaves his fellow tribesmen bewildered. And when attempting to describe his personality, they find themselves in need of words with greater nuance. \"Neurotic\" is typically used. \"Sociopath\" and \"narcissist\" are also common terms. The most popular descriptor, however, is \"pathological.\" Grak, on the other hand, sees his situation in a rather different light. He finds his behavior \"necessary\" and \"selfless,\" or even \"benevolent\" when his mood is just so. Most often, though, he simply attributes his nature to \"being human.\" But of all the things Grak despises, his antipathy for olives takes precedence. In his efforts to be rid of this nuisance, he gets his first taste of power and ignites a series of events with troubling consequences. Unwilling to give up his newfound influence, he sets about honing his only true talent: manipulation. But as his grip tightens, Grak's naively selfish exterior crumbles to reveal a dark and malicious evil ... In his debut work, author Peter J Story brews a robust psychological satire infused with dry humor and a pinch of emotion. Set just prior to recorded history, Things Grak Hates chronicles the life of a bizarre nomad and his descent toward evil. Along the way, this unconventional allegory explores a variety of complex issues. Among them: power, politics, religion, redemption, the dissemination of ideas, and human nature itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kx24phydvnmah0wty52pebzx_6a4ef3a3c966d.jpg?v=2a609a8746","L5QJcSITIT~p-.bHt7oLyDxuxtRP",2014,334,[169],{"id":170,"slug":171,"name":172},"01kx24phyqwatawn0dhzrn3ve4","peter-j-story-gqwb","Peter J.

Overworked and underpaid, she lives in a blur of back-to-back classes, side hustles, and job applications for an ever-dwindling number of tenure-track jobs. Her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus. Tom and Sam have a complicated history, and it’s the last thing she wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, institutional hurdles, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons—and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor reckoning with his checkered past. As rumors spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story. An “entertaining, provocative” (Brooklyn Rail) look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct offers a bold twist on a tangled MeToo story and turns Sam’s downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2b7r6a2n3dch6m59kekf4a.jpg?v=ee37c1e789","L9Q$3B_3*Kl;8wMd-:d9p1VHHVxn",2026,[803],{"id":804,"slug":805,"name":806},"01kx2b7r63kzcfzgh9pxyhnf7s","maria-adelmann-sis1","Maria Adelmann",[808,809],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":33},{"id":368,"name":369,"slug":370,"is_fiction":33},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":8,"audience":95,"mood":812,"themes":814,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[97,813],"thought-provoking",[428],{"key":816,"params":817,"works":818},"genre",{"genre":36},[819,839,852,874,884,905],{"id":820,"slug":821,"title":822,"description":8,"primary_cover_url":823,"cover_blurhash":824,"first_publish_year":825,"community_rating_avg":137,"community_rating_count":94,"page_count":826,"authors":827,"genres":832,"series":834,"enrichment":835},"01kx2tv0qwrtxmjnewrmfyct2z","buffy-97-rij1","Buffy '97","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2tv0qwrtxmjnewrmfyct2z.jpg?v=3860e66311","LTJZYoRl0MoL}=WV9woe0hoeW.bH",2022,128,[828],{"id":829,"slug":830,"name":831},"01kx2tv0r5krzhg0vebkcz5dcz","max-bemis-gkfz","Max Bemis",[833],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":33},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":8,"audience":95,"mood":836,"themes":838,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[97,837],"ironic",[],{"id":213,"slug":214,"title":215,"description":216,"primary_cover_url":217,"cover_blurhash":218,"first_publish_year":219,"community_rating_avg":137,"community_rating_count":94,"page_count":220,"authors":840,"genres":844,"series":848,"enrichment":849},[841,842,843],{"id":223,"slug":224,"name":225},{"id":227,"slug":228,"name":229},{"id":231,"slug":232,"name":233},[845,846,847],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":33},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":33},{"id":238,"name":239,"slug":240,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":8,"audience":95,"mood":850,"themes":851,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[97,98],[],{"id":853,"slug":854,"title":855,"description":856,"primary_cover_url":857,"cover_blurhash":858,"first_publish_year":859,"community_rating_avg":272,"community_rating_count":94,"page_count":860,"authors":861,"genres":866,"series":870,"enrichment":871},"01kx2n8cqkyfdfd77wjw6h624q","the-blondes-vpbq","The blondes","\"Hazel Hayes is a grad student living in New York City.

I enjoyed this novel and you will too.”—James Patterson The provocative and hilarious summer read that will have book lovers cheering and everyone talking! Kirsten Miller, author of The Change, brings us this bracing, wildly entertaining piece of humorous fiction and satire about a small Southern town, a pitched battle over banned books, and a little lending library that changes everything. Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on a mission of censorship to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she’s actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she’s challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she’s sure the town’s readers need. What Lula doesn’t know is that a local troublemaker has stolen her wholesome books, removed their dust jackets, and restocked Lula’s library with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, witchy spell books, Judy Blume novels, and more. In this unforgettable work of women's fiction, neighbors who borrow books from Lula Dean’s library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. Finally, one of Lula Dean’s enemies discovers the library and decides to turn the tables on her, just as Lula and Beverly are running against each other to replace the town’s disgraced mayor. That’s when all the townspeople who’ve been borrowing from Lula’s library begin to reveal themselves. That's when the showdown that’s been brewing between Beverly and Lula will roil the whole town...and change it forever.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26k1cd90x77kadap1m6vgr.jpg?v=683033a524","L9Af]]_N4UNH.Rs:VsoL00Io-ptR",[913],{"id":914,"slug":915,"name":916},"01knsytx20xc33j3qeds02yvkx","kirsten-miller-pz1n","Kirsten Miller",[918,919,920],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":33},{"id":520,"name":521,"slug":522,"is_fiction":33},{"id":921,"name":922,"slug":923,"is_fiction":33},205,"Small-Town Romance","small-town-romance",[],{"pace":92,"complexity":8,"audience":95,"mood":926,"themes":927,"setting_period":8,"summary":8,"content_warnings":8},[97,98],[928,929],"enemies-to-lovers","small-town",[]]
