Some years into their marriage, the couple invites their families on vacation.

How many people (and dogs) make a family? And when the pack starts to disintegrate, what can you do to shepherd everyone back together?

Now Tehmina is being asked to choose between her old, familiar life in India and a new one in Ohio with her son, his American wife, and their child. She must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals of life in a new country.This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi woman, must travel alone.The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to \"sweeten\" and enrich the lives of the people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice of whether to stay in America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in America as a stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation, and involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two young, troubled children next door. It is the plight of these two boys that forces Tehmina to choose. She will either straddle two worlds forever and live in a no-man's land or jump into the fullness of her new life in America.If Today Be Sweet is a novel that celebrates family and community. It is an honest but affectionate look at contemporary America—the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and their thirst for connection and communication. Eloquently written, evocative, and unforgettable, If Today Be Sweet is a poignant look at issues of immigration, identity, family life, and hope.

Her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus.

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,[594],{"id":595,"slug":596,"name":597},"01kx2b7r63kzcfzgh9pxyhnf7s","maria-adelmann-sis1","Maria Adelmann",[599,600],{"id":423,"name":424,"slug":425,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":96,"complexity":7,"audience":64,"mood":603,"themes":605,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[604,482],"funny",[606],"morally-grey",{"id":608,"slug":609,"title":610,"description":611,"primary_cover_url":612,"cover_blurhash":613,"first_publish_year":151,"community_rating_avg":200,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":614,"authors":615,"genres":620,"series":623,"enrichment":624},"01kx24r6mag3enf51683esxgr0","the-safety-of-objects-bogn","The Safety of Objects","Published to overwhelming critical acclaim, this remarkable collection of short stories established A. M. Homes as one of the most provocative and daring writers of her generation. Here you'll find the cult classic, A Real Doll, the tale of a teenage boy's erotic obsession with his sister's Barbie doll; Adults Alone, which first introduced Paul and Elaine, the crack-smoking yuppie couple whose marriage careens out of control in Homes's novel Music for Torching; and Looking for Johnny, in which a kidnapped boy, having failed his abductors' expectations, is returned home.Brilliantly conceived and sharply etched, these stories explore the American dream in ways readers cannot forget. Working in Kodacolor hues, Homes offers an uncanny picture of a surreal suburbia -- outrageous and utterly believable.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kx24r6mag3enf51683esxgr0_6a4eecc0492c4.jpg?v=1b9cd227f4","L1Cjq_.AI8-@00IRW@Mv00j]tURi",173,[616],{"id":617,"slug":618,"name":619},"01kmfvywxtnptda5syjjsh8z92","a-m-homes-bcoy","A.
