Here at last is Dillon\u002FJivaka's extraordinary life story told in his own words. Out of the Ordinary captures Dillon\u002FJivaka's various journeys--to Oxford, into medicine, across the world by ship--within the major narratives of his gender and religious journeys. Moving chronologically, Dillon\u002FJivaka begins with his childhood in Folkestone, England, where he was raised by his spinster aunts, and tells of his days at Oxford immersed in theology, classics, and rowing. He recounts his hormonal transition while working as an auto mechanic and fire watcher during World War II and his surgical transition under Sir Harold Gillies while Dillon himself attended medical school. He details his worldwide travel as a ship's surgeon in the British Merchant Navy with extensive commentary on his interactions with colonial and postcolonial subjects, followed by his 'outing' by the British press while he was serving aboard The City of Bath. Out of the Ordinary is not only a salient record of an early sex transition but also a unique account of religious conversion in the mid-twentieth century. Dillon\u002FJivaka chronicles his gradual shift from Anglican Christianity to the esoteric spiritual systems of George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky to Theravada and finally Mahayana Buddhism. He concludes his memoir with the contested circumstances of his Buddhist monastic ordination in India and Tibet. Ultimately, while Dillon\u002FJivaka died before becoming a monk, his novice ordination was significant: It made him the first white European man to be ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Out of the Ordinary is a landmark publication that sets free a distinct voice from the history of the transgender movement\"--Provided by publisher.",2017,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kr8tqxwg76qrrb7t1wcsf9ee.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kr8tqxrhxr58m24h4gdv1n92.png?v=937630df9e","LDC6Mo%LExNG~BxuELM|tRxan$Rj",0,256,291,"complete",true,false,[20,25,29,33],{"id":21,"slug":22,"name":23,"role":24,"bio":7},"01kr8tqxvxsvphykgme6t44ca8","michael-dillon-imzq","Michael Dillon","author",{"id":26,"slug":27,"name":28,"role":24,"bio":7},"01kr8tqxw476mjc76psh76re6c","jacob-lau-dszy","Jacob Lau",{"id":30,"slug":31,"name":32,"role":24,"bio":7},"01kr8tqxw8bfz7p7xca34jsx4m","cameron-partridge-ed5o","Cameron Partridge",{"id":34,"slug":35,"name":36,"role":24,"bio":37},"01knxbtsb1x6y1jj16ns2szs40","susan-stryker-h3g3","Susan Stryker","Susan O'Neal Stryker (born 1961) is an American professor, author, filmmaker, and theorist whose work focuses on gender and human sexuality.

A sanatorium, a deadly disease, and a dire nursing shortage. In the pre-antibiotic days when tuber­culosis stirred people’s darkest fears, killing one in seven, white nurses at Sea View, New York’s largest municipal hospital, began quitting en masse. Desperate to avert a public health crisis, city officials summoned Black southern nurses, luring them with promises of good pay, a career, and an escape from the stric­tures of Jim Crow. But after arriving, they found themselves on an isolated hilltop in the remote borough of Staten Island, yet again confronting racism and consigned to a woefully understaffed sanatorium, dubbed “the pest house,” where it was said that “no one left alive.” Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this remarkable true story follows the intrepid young women known by their patients as the “Black Angels.” For twenty years, they risked their lives work­ing under appalling conditions while caring for New York’s poorest residents, who languished in wards, waiting to die, or became guinea pigs for experimental surgeries and often deadly drugs. But despite their major role in desegregating the New York City hospital system—and their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculo­sis at Sea View—these nurses were completely erased from history. The Black Angels recovers the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of this riveting story, celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt4s3s2w3ymrv7bxab0r8xjv.jpg?v=e0fe0f484a","LQNmm9%f~Wjs9aRQNHkC%$en9tt7",2023,457,[551],{"id":552,"slug":553,"name":554},"01kt4s3s2m4bq8y8wwjq5053fh","maria-smilios-jzhc","Maria Smilios",[556,557,558,559,563],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},{"id":60,"name":61,"slug":62,"is_fiction":18},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},{"id":560,"name":561,"slug":562,"is_fiction":18},117,"Medicine","medicine",{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":245,"complexity":7,"audience":248,"mood":566,"themes":567,"setting_period":7,"summary":570,"content_warnings":7},[253,419,250,251],[568,257,503,569],"survival","found-family","In 1929 New York City, a deadly tuberculosis epidemic led to a severe nursing shortage at Sea View, the city's largest municipal hospital.

With Voldemort in control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts no longer safe, Harry, Hermione, and Ron abandon the school and go on the run, tasked with finding and destroying the remaining Horcruxes — the objects in which Voldemort has hidden fragments of his soul to achieve immortality.\n\nThe hunt is gruelling and often near-hopeless. The three friends are isolated, hunted, and fractured by the pressure; the Wizarding World they are fighting for is collapsing around them. Threading through their quest is a second mystery: the legend of the Deathly Hallows — three objects said to make their possessor the master of death itself.\n\nThe book builds to a climax at Hogwarts that resolves every major thread of the series with a structural precision that reveals how meticulously the entire seven-book arc was planned. Rowling has spoken about the King's Cross chapter — in which Harry stands between life and death — as the most personally meaningful passage she wrote, drawing on her own meditations on mortality and faith. The series' final word, after years of planning, is 'scar.'","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmz7246y6n7d1mqmx9y1jj5f.jpg","LyLL%9xD%0WE}pjFR+WCRQWCR+s.",2007,"5.00",7,784,[642,646],{"id":643,"slug":644,"name":645},"01kjq6wezv5p3d2q4859b4yr8b","j-k-rowling-vwul","J.

Four-year-old Adrienne — Nothomb's mother as a child — is sent to live with her maternal grandmother in Ghent while the city is under German occupation. The grandmother is harsh: she forces the child to eat revolting food, punishes any sign of weakness, and runs the household as a discipline regime rather than a home. Adrienne survives by discovering a mantra — 'tant mieux' (so much the better) — a phrase of radical acceptance that she applies to every hardship: if it cannot be changed, it is better to be able to bear it than not. The novel completes a triptych: Premier Sang told her father's story, Psychopompe told her own, and Tant mieux is a long love letter to her mother's four-year-old self — the child whose ordeal became the adult who raised Amélie Nothomb.

What followed was a childhood organized entirely around her mother's approval: auditions, a breakout role as Sam on Nickelodeon's iCarly, and a mother who monitored her body, taught her calorie restriction as \"a secret between us,\" and controlled nearly every part of her life.\n\nIn this memoir — adapted from her acclaimed one-woman show — McCurdy writes with startling honesty and a mordant sense of humor about eating disorders, addiction, the pressures of early fame, and the disorienting grief and relief that came after her mother's death in 2013. It is a book about untangling love from harm, and about learning to want a life of one's own.\n\nA number-one New York Times bestseller that spent years on the list, I'm Glad My Mom Died became one of the most talked-about memoirs of the decade for the clarity and dark wit McCurdy brings to painful material.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4ndmbhgttfmvd27t53x17.jpg","LCQjNP#W_U-VqdoypIi{l]X8P5S1",2022,[900],{"id":901,"slug":902,"name":903},"01kjq83x76re88b05ktxx3jc8n","jennette-mccurdy-f11u","Jennette McCurdy",[905,906,907,911,912,913],{"id":326,"name":327,"slug":328,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},{"id":908,"name":909,"slug":910,"is_fiction":18},78,"Health","health",{"id":386,"name":387,"slug":388,"is_fiction":18},{"id":370,"name":371,"slug":372,"is_fiction":18},{"id":60,"name":61,"slug":62,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":245,"complexity":7,"audience":248,"mood":916,"themes":917,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[394,347,419],[],{"id":919,"slug":920,"title":921,"description":922,"primary_cover_url":923,"cover_blurhash":924,"first_publish_year":925,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":926,"authors":927,"genres":932,"series":944,"enrichment":945},"01kjq72p2nrhssejm0m2mn02v2","born-a-crime-rsol","Born a Crime","Born a Crime (2016) is Trevor Noah's sharp, funny, and moving memoir of growing up mixed-race in South Africa during the final years of apartheid and the turbulent decade that followed.\n\nThe son of a Black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father, Noah was born when such a union was literally illegal — his very existence was evidence of a crime. He recounts a childhood spent partly in hiding, navigating the absurd and brutal logic of a system built on racial classification, and the poverty, violence, and improvised survival of township life after apartheid's fall.\n\nAt the center of every story is his mother, Patricia — fearless, devout, stubborn, and endlessly resourceful — whose tough love and refusal to be limited shaped the man Noah became.

Manson's argument is simple but bracing: caring about everything leaves you exhausted and anxious, so the real skill is choosing the few things that genuinely deserve your attention and letting the rest go.\n\nDrawing on Stoic ideas, blunt personal anecdotes, and the occasional pointed profanity, Manson makes the case that struggle is unavoidable and even necessary — that a good life comes not from escaping problems but from picking better problems to have. He examines how values shape our sense of success, why entitlement and the pursuit of constant happiness backfire, and how accepting responsibility (even for things that aren't our fault) restores a sense of control.\n\nIrreverent, funny, and deliberately unglamorous, the book reframes self-improvement around honesty, limitation, and the acceptance of death rather than affirmations and hustle.

With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller.

When she takes a job as a reader for a literary agency, her first assignment is a manuscript called \"Sweet Blasphemy\" — a novel about the thirteenth-century poet Rumi and the wandering dervish who transformed him.\n\nThat inner novel forms the book's second thread. In the Anatolian city of Konya, the respected scholar and preacher Rumi encounters Shams of Tabriz, a restless mystic who lives by forty rules of love. Their intense spiritual friendship — built on soul-to-soul conversation the Sufis call sohbet — remakes Rumi into one of history's greatest mystical poets, but it also unsettles his household and his city.\n\nAs Ella reads, the seven centuries and two cultures separating her from Shams begin to collapse. Rumi's awakening mirrors her own dawning restlessness, and a correspondence with the manuscript's author draws her toward a life she had stopped believing was possible. Elif Shafak braids the two timelines together into a meditation on love as a force that dissolves the boundaries of self, faith, and time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fedition\u002F01\u002F01kjwhxy0tjn7r7w7d0mcekhqz_6a079a992fc1e.jpg","L8F=y-0Q02Vt03xB=skW00-j}pbb",2010,368,[1256,1260,1264],{"id":1257,"slug":1258,"name":1259},"01kjwhxy0ck6r6rtepje2aps35","elif-safak-6ayf","Elif Şafak",{"id":1261,"slug":1262,"name":1263},"01kqnc3aac3rgmc31ddd2y4n5p","alyf-shafak-xk0e","أليف شافاك",{"id":1265,"slug":1266,"name":1267},"01kqnc3aaetjfrf1yq3drb24wj","mhmd-droysh-nbng","محمد درويش",[1269,1272,1273,1274,1275,1276,1280,1281,1282,1283,1284],{"id":247,"name":1270,"slug":1271,"is_fiction":17},"Romance","romance",{"id":208,"name":741,"slug":742,"is_fiction":17},{"id":313,"name":314,"slug":315,"is_fiction":17},{"id":48,"name":49,"slug":50,"is_fiction":18},{"id":748,"name":749,"slug":750,"is_fiction":18},{"id":1277,"name":1278,"slug":1279,"is_fiction":17},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},{"id":60,"name":61,"slug":62,"is_fiction":18},{"id":366,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":18},{"id":744,"name":745,"slug":746,"is_fiction":18},{"id":935,"name":936,"slug":937,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":392,"complexity":7,"audience":248,"mood":1287,"themes":1288,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[349,866,834],[1289],"dual-timeline",{"id":1291,"slug":1292,"title":1293,"description":1294,"primary_cover_url":1295,"cover_blurhash":1296,"first_publish_year":1297,"community_rating_avg":1121,"community_rating_count":334,"page_count":1298,"authors":1299,"genres":1304,"series":1314,"enrichment":1323},"01kjq6xk9mse69v68x4zm8v1aa","all-about-love-w4hk","All About Love","In All About Love: New Visions, cultural critic and feminist theorist bell hooks argues that our society's confusion and cynicism about love stem from a failure to understand what love truly is. Rejecting the idea of love as a mere feeling, she insists that love is an action — a practice rooted in care, commitment, trust, responsibility, respect, and honesty — and one that cannot be separated from justice.\n\nAcross a series of clear, personal, and searching essays, hooks examines how a culture shaped by patriarchy, consumerism, and domination distorts our capacity to love, from childhood and family to romance, friendship, community, and spiritual life.\n\nBlending memoir, criticism, and ethics, All About Love is both a diagnosis of a loveless culture and a hopeful blueprint for change. It is the first book in hooks's Love Song to the Nation trilogy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksyr9xxn8s4zgedmvd6dh08g.jpg","L04xGH#l00%26jIUs:-;*K-p~qMx",2000,239,[1300],{"id":1301,"slug":1302,"name":1303},"01kjq6xkbaaankp8vwpdsa66vm","bell-hooks-osuz","bell hooks",[1305,1306,1307,1308,1309,1310,1311,1312,1313],{"id":326,"name":327,"slug":328,"is_fiction":18},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":18},{"id":386,"name":387,"slug":388,"is_fiction":18},{"id":48,"name":49,"slug":50,"is_fiction":18},{"id":531,"name":532,"slug":533,"is_fiction":18},{"id":340,"name":341,"slug":342,"is_fiction":18},{"id":280,"name":281,"slug":282,"is_fiction":18},{"id":744,"name":745,"slug":746,"is_fiction":18},{"id":370,"name":371,"slug":372,"is_fiction":18},[1315,1319],{"id":1316,"slug":1317,"name":1318,"position":708,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve202mbj3bee892w49r5mjc","love-song-to-the-nation-ehns","Love Song to the Nation",{"id":1320,"slug":1321,"name":1322,"position":7,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqsbnj2qfkmrqzykag98r48r","love-trilogy-0xlx","The Love Trilogy",{"pace":392,"complexity":7,"audience":248,"mood":1324,"themes":1325,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[349,834,250],[],{"id":1327,"slug":1328,"title":1329,"description":1330,"primary_cover_url":1331,"cover_blurhash":1332,"first_publish_year":1333,"community_rating_avg":1334,"community_rating_count":305,"page_count":1335,"authors":1336,"genres":1345,"series":1356,"enrichment":1357},"01kkfjf1ycbcrw5wc37y1shh2e","walden-or-life-in-the-woods-hqlg","Walden or, Life in the Woods","Henry David Thoreau's Walden chronicles his two years living in a cabin by Walden Pond.
