From the author of the sensational bestseller I Was Told There'd Be Cake comes a new book of personal essays brimming with all the charm and wit that have earned Sloane Crosley widespread acclaim, award nominations, and an ever-growing cadre of loyal fans. In Cake readers were introduced to the foibles of Crosley's life in New York City-always teetering between the glamour of Manhattan parties, the indignity of entry-level work, and the special joy of suburban nostalgia-and to a literary voice that mixed Dorothy Parker with David Sedaris and became something all its own. Crosley still lives and works in New York City, but she's no longer the newcomer for whom a trip beyond the Upper West Side is a big adventure. She can pack up her sensibility and takes us with her to Paris, to Portugal (having picked it by spinning a globe and putting down her finger, and finally falling in with a group of Portuguese clowns), and even to Alaska, where the \"bear bells\" on her fellow bridesmaids' ponytails seemed silly until a grizzly cub dramatically intrudes. Meanwhile, back in New York, where new apartments beckon and taxi rides go awry, her sense of the city has become more layered, her relationships with friends and family more complicated. As always, Crosley's voice is fueled by the perfect witticism, buoyant optimism, flair for drama, and easy charm in the face of minor suffering or potential drudgery. But in How Did You Get This Number it has also become increasingly sophisticated, quicker and sharper to the point, more complex and lasting in the emotions it explores. And yet, Crosley remains the unfailingly hilarious young Everywoman, healthily equipped with intelligence and poise to fend off any potential mundanity in maturity.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2699cn2hcq82s87dkyr84f.jpg?v=c04b44656e","L34.0aE2oyM{~Ut6M{WC?GbFkBRj",2010,281,[529],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27},[531,535],{"id":532,"name":533,"slug":534,"is_fiction":20},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":538,"themes":539,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,110,112],[],{"id":541,"slug":542,"title":543,"description":544,"primary_cover_url":545,"cover_blurhash":546,"first_publish_year":547,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":548,"authors":549,"genres":554,"series":561,"enrichment":562},"01kx24mzffk61zpeptmmhf4166","against-love-a-polemic-jgfb","Against Love A Polemic","A polemic against love that is “engagingly acerbic ... extremely funny.... A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love. Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",2004,224,[550],{"id":551,"slug":552,"name":553},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[555,556,560],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":557,"name":558,"slug":559,"is_fiction":21},103,"Society","society",{"id":208,"name":209,"slug":210,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":563,"themes":565,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[220,564],"satirical",[],{"id":567,"slug":568,"title":569,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":570,"cover_blurhash":571,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":572,"authors":573,"genres":582,"series":588,"enrichment":589},"01kx2b7n3pshwryt67jkvr9snv","money-changes-everything-x6hg","Money Changes Everything","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2b7n42db9hjrstntkjqqjm.jpg?v=6ce1fe8f52","LPQJM~%#xZtS~qQ-b^nOn4tSMxbb",320,[574,578],{"id":575,"slug":576,"name":577},"01kjvq4ts73egkzwjwpxabk6tj","elissa-schappell-9btn","Elissa Schappell",{"id":579,"slug":580,"name":581},"01kpgg9kqs7k7g9pcm90mewdq5","jenny-offill-o7wc","Jenny Offill",[583,587],{"id":584,"name":585,"slug":586,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":590,"themes":591,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[220,112],[],{"key":593,"params":594,"works":595},"genre_mood",{"genre":36,"mood":109},[596,613,636,656,677,704],{"id":413,"slug":414,"title":415,"description":416,"primary_cover_url":417,"cover_blurhash":418,"first_publish_year":419,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":420,"authors":597,"genres":599,"series":609,"enrichment":610},[598],{"id":423,"slug":424,"name":425},[600,601,602,603,604,605,606,607,608],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":21},{"id":430,"name":431,"slug":432,"is_fiction":21},{"id":434,"name":435,"slug":436,"is_fiction":20},{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":21},{"id":323,"name":324,"slug":325,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":441,"name":442,"slug":443,"is_fiction":21},{"id":445,"name":446,"slug":447,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":409,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":611,"themes":612,"setting_period":7,"summary":416,"content_warnings":7},[109,451],[453,454],{"id":614,"slug":615,"title":616,"description":617,"primary_cover_url":618,"cover_blurhash":619,"first_publish_year":230,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":620,"authors":621,"genres":626,"series":632,"enrichment":633},"01knpk6mjrt0vffgxmxqd2wzh9","we-are-never-meeting-in-real-life-cxlp","We Are Never Meeting in Real Life","With heartfelt candor and her usual side-splitting bite, humorist, essayist, and blogger at bitchesgottaeat.com Samantha Irby captures powerful emotional truths while chronicling the disaster that has been her life.

Ayelet Waldman says it's time for women to get over it and get on with it, in a book that is sure to spark the same level of controversy as her now legendary \"Modern Love\" piece, in which she confessed to loving her husband more than her children.Covering topics as diverse as the hysteria of competitive parenting (Whose toddler can recite the planets in order from the sun?), the relentless pursuits of the Bad Mother police, balancing the work-family dynamic, and the bane of every mother's existence (homework, that is), Bad Mother illuminates the anxieties that riddle motherhood today, while providing women with the encouragement they need to give themselves a break.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx294e7p57mf2qqewbpdyx8v.jpg?v=d25f3af4c2","LBNd%gxG77WZY8tRxtt61SWBrpj]",213,[665],{"id":666,"slug":667,"name":668},"01kph46ag4wr9n2masb0c0rh7h","ayelet-waldman-d8ha","Ayelet Waldman",[670,671,672],{"id":532,"name":533,"slug":534,"is_fiction":20},{"id":262,"name":263,"slug":264,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":409,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":675,"themes":676,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,112],[],{"id":678,"slug":679,"title":680,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":681,"cover_blurhash":682,"first_publish_year":683,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":684,"authors":685,"genres":690,"series":700,"enrichment":701},"01kwzrf7rqcrdhjx4vzty7qq6p","heart-in-the-right-place-bghu","Heart in the Right Place","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrf7t8k1g0de4kynkdj64s.jpg?v=341512bfe5","L9Kk]ORo?_;w*KxYQ7Nf@Fs.C6X9",2007,297,[686],{"id":687,"slug":688,"name":689},"01kwzrf7s8q9c10dhhez25ay77","carolyn-jourdan-bglt","Carolyn Jourdan",[691,692,696],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":693,"name":694,"slug":695,"is_fiction":20},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":697,"name":698,"slug":699,"is_fiction":20},38,"Romantic Comedy","romantic-comedy",[],{"pace":409,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":702,"themes":703,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,110],[],{"id":705,"slug":706,"title":707,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":708,"cover_blurhash":709,"first_publish_year":710,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":232,"authors":711,"genres":720,"series":722,"enrichment":723},"01kwzx1dnwyr93s5m18db53pxe","for-your-consideration-frqu","For Your Consideration","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kwzx1dnwyr93s5m18db53pxe.jpg?v=adfd03a700","LTDJ@dxaLLNa?^bHpcoeKOWBw{s:",2019,[712,716],{"id":713,"slug":714,"name":715},"01kwzx1dpcf6r1m509wss9w23g","larissa-zageris-keqh","Larissa Zageris",{"id":717,"slug":718,"name":719},"01kwzx1dpg9cd3xbdc4gz4k84t","kitty-curran-dzub","Kitty Curran",[721],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":724,"themes":725,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,110],[726,453],"multiple-povs",{"key":728,"params":729,"works":730},"genre",{"genre":36},[731,749,773,795,818,840],{"id":732,"slug":733,"title":734,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":735,"cover_blurhash":736,"first_publish_year":526,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":7,"authors":737,"genres":742,"series":745,"enrichment":746},"01kx2cs38jh9peyvvp092mvgcr","secretariats-meadow-the-land-the-family-the-legend-dl56","Secretariats Meadow The Land The Family The Legend","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2cs392ga7gp1ptshwaatfs.jpg?v=1c208170c2","L9Dj-H100i}r1g=H,?NuJU$$NGEh",[738],{"id":739,"slug":740,"name":741},"01kx2cs38ye18gx0521px6vb28","wayne-dementi-rkd5","Wayne Dementi",[743,744],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":323,"name":324,"slug":325,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":747,"themes":748,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[146,147],[],{"id":750,"slug":751,"title":752,"description":753,"primary_cover_url":754,"cover_blurhash":755,"first_publish_year":547,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":756,"authors":757,"genres":762,"series":769,"enrichment":770},"01kx26t0a3tz8hpv509x3djyp8","the-bielski-brothers-the-true-story-of-three-men-who-defied-the-nazis-built-a-village-in-the-forest-and-saved-1200-jews-y9ga","The Bielski Brothers The True Story of Three Men Who Defied the Nazis, Built a Village in the Forest, and Saved 1,200 Jews","In 1941, three brothers witnessed their parents and two other siblings being led away to their eventual murders. It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin. More than one thousand Bielski Jews emerged -- alive -- on that final, triumphant exit from the woods.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26t0agg1ngvkhhv9yyt2km.jpg?v=9d4bff31dd","L6BWSR1401IB~mEhVuxa02$xShtR",336,[758],{"id":759,"slug":760,"name":761},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[763,767,768],{"id":764,"name":765,"slug":766,"is_fiction":20},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":323,"name":324,"slug":325,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":409,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":771,"themes":772,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[303,146],[],{"id":774,"slug":775,"title":776,"description":777,"primary_cover_url":778,"cover_blurhash":779,"first_publish_year":710,"community_rating_avg":780,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":781,"authors":782,"genres":787,"series":791,"enrichment":792},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp",[803],{"id":804,"slug":805,"name":806},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[808,809],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":810,"name":811,"slug":812,"is_fiction":21},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":168,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":815,"themes":817,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,816],"philosophical",[],{"id":819,"slug":820,"title":821,"description":822,"primary_cover_url":823,"cover_blurhash":824,"first_publish_year":825,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":826,"authors":827,"genres":832,"series":836,"enrichment":837},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).
