These American poems are both elegy and jive, joke and declaration, songs of congregation and self-conception. They connect themes of loneliness, displacement, grief, ancestral trauma, and objectification, while exploring and troubling tropes and stereotypes of Black Americans. Focused primarily on depictions of Black womanhood alongside personal narratives, the collection tackles interior and exterior politics?of both the body and society, of both the individual and the collective experience. In Magical Negro, Parker creates a space of witness, of airing grievances, of pointing out patterns.

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.

But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess. In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight. Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself—back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough.

Caught up in a moment of boyhood competition, William Bellman recklessly aims his slingshot at a rook resting on a branch, killing the bird instantly. It is a small but cruel act, and is soon forgotten. By the time he is grown, with a wife and children of his own, William seems to have put the whole incident behind him. It was as if he never killed the thing at all. But rooks don’t forget… Years later, when a stranger mysteriously enters William’s life, his fortunes begin to turn—and the terrible and unforeseen consequences of his past indiscretion take root. In a desperate bid to save the only precious thing he has left, he enters into a rather strange bargain, with an even stranger partner. Together, they found a decidedly macabre business.

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,[692],{"id":693,"slug":694,"name":695},"01kx2b7r63kzcfzgh9pxyhnf7s","maria-adelmann-sis1","Maria Adelmann",[697,701],{"id":698,"name":699,"slug":700,"is_fiction":19},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":704,"themes":705,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[345,55],[434],{"id":707,"slug":708,"title":709,"description":710,"primary_cover_url":711,"cover_blurhash":712,"first_publish_year":713,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":714,"authors":715,"genres":720,"series":723,"enrichment":724},"01kx24r6mag3enf51683esxgr0","the-safety-of-objects-bogn","The Safety of Objects","Published to overwhelming critical acclaim, this remarkable collection of short stories established A.

She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men. Ames isn't happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese—and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Ames's boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she's pregnant with his baby—and that she's not sure whether she wants to keep it—Ames wonders if this is the chance he's been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family—and raise the baby together? This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can't reach. Torrey Peters brilliantly and fearlessly navigates the most dangerous taboos around gender, sex, and relationships, gifting us a thrillingly original, witty, and deeply moving novel.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23bsaddqj117sft0eg6rkb.jpg?v=42ba749c91","LEHoT]}mnIE}btW-WXn+NF#n%2oI",[735],{"id":736,"slug":737,"name":738},"01ks53651164grj4zef8p85vt4","torrey-peters-dlkn","Torrey Peters",[740],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":50,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":743,"themes":744,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[55,58],[254,301,434],{"id":746,"slug":747,"title":748,"description":749,"primary_cover_url":750,"cover_blurhash":751,"first_publish_year":752,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":753,"authors":754,"genres":759,"series":764,"enrichment":765},"01kx2bes3gcb2cmmpw1vm942wr","invisible-writer-5fhb","Invisible writer","In Invisible Writer, the first full-length, authorized biography of this complex and gifted writer, author and literary critic Greg Johnson examines the mysteries and myths that have attended Oates's remarkable career. Granted privileged access to her private letters and journals, and drawing upon hundreds of extensive interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and Oates herself, Johnson develops his portrait of an \"invisible writer\" whose carefully guarded private world proves as fascinating as her well-publicized literary career. Oates's own life was marked by the same chaos, violence, and dark twists of fate that would later beset her fictional characters and create her obsession with what she calls \"the phantasmagoria of personality.\" Here is the child born into poverty in the desolate heart of upstate New York; a girl shadowed by emotional terrors; a young woman drawn at an early age into an intensely private world of the intellect and imagination. We learn of her relationship with her autistic sister, Lynn, her mirror image - and a child without words; of her spectacular early success and subsequent conflicts with a sexist and hostile literary establishment; and of the near breakdown in the face of overwhelming media attention.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2bes3yd6q6r4p9q2b6rjcy.jpg?v=e3c595cf12","LOEVBDD%V@xu1cMxt7ba{fV@xuRj",1998,492,[755],{"id":756,"slug":757,"name":758},"01kqw9q4m7rv3dzkw82hj380w2","greg-johnson-gsbc","Greg Johnson",[760,763],{"id":262,"name":761,"slug":762,"is_fiction":18},"Biography","biography",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":766,"themes":767,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[55,56],[],{"key":769,"params":770,"works":771},"genre",{"genre":34},[772,782,804,825,844,854],{"id":279,"slug":280,"title":281,"description":282,"primary_cover_url":283,"cover_blurhash":284,"first_publish_year":229,"community_rating_avg":153,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":285,"authors":773,"genres":775,"series":778,"enrichment":779},[774],{"id":288,"slug":289,"name":290},[776,777],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":294,"name":295,"slug":296,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":92,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":780,"themes":781,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[95,94],[301,302],{"id":783,"slug":784,"title":785,"description":786,"primary_cover_url":787,"cover_blurhash":788,"first_publish_year":789,"community_rating_avg":75,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":790,"authors":791,"genres":796,"series":799,"enrichment":800},"01kx241wmax81db7y2v5mv5zpt","bombay-time-omxf","Bombay Time","\"Umrigar's vivid and easy prose carries the reader into the heart of these families, limning their neighborhoods, their desires, their hopes, and failures.\" — Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel At the wedding of a young man from a middle-class apartment building in Bombay, the men and women of this unique community gather together and look back on their youthful, idealistic selves and consider the changes the years have wrought.

A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn’t just heartbreak—it’s cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie. Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body’s new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a “Guide to My Husband: A User’s Manual” for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband’s whims and quirks. She turns her children’s bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture—and to maybe save herself in the process. In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron’s hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2aj8vp9ja2n4325fqm1b6x.jpg?v=a1c6a8b148","LJDUJJ.,K?b]F?ODoJnSwcsmXNre",2025,208,[814],{"id":815,"slug":816,"name":817},"01kx2aj8vkv1crptwtjvsqchvf","katie-yee-06la","Katie Yee",[819,820],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":365,"name":366,"slug":367,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":823,"themes":824,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[56,58],[],{"id":826,"slug":827,"title":828,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":829,"cover_blurhash":830,"first_publish_year":102,"community_rating_avg":153,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":831,"authors":832,"genres":837,"series":840,"enrichment":841},"01kx2aj0tb6ad8zya1fafycamw","notes-on-a-scandal-what-was-she-thinking-ryz3","Notes on a Scandal: What Was She Thinking?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2aj0tx3qwx9589hw3s8qnr.jpg?v=6788bb865c","LLFNkq0jIrxp};IqNIkB0-=]xDNK",272,[833],{"id":834,"slug":835,"name":836},"01kx2aj0ts0m2nyks4zbs3dh3h","zoe-heller-qhjx","Zoe Heller",[838,839],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":50,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":842,"themes":843,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[94,95,58],[],{"id":146,"slug":147,"title":148,"description":149,"primary_cover_url":150,"cover_blurhash":151,"first_publish_year":152,"community_rating_avg":153,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":154,"authors":845,"genres":847,"series":850,"enrichment":851},[846],{"id":157,"slug":158,"name":159},[848,849],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":53,"mood":852,"themes":853,"setting_period":7,"summary":149,"content_warnings":7},[94,95,166],[],{"id":855,"slug":856,"title":857,"description":858,"primary_cover_url":859,"cover_blurhash":860,"first_publish_year":175,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":76,"page_count":831,"authors":861,"genres":866,"series":870,"enrichment":871},"01kx2522m72j98q9y50vye7evq","the-secrets-of-a-fire-king-stories-wtdo","The Secrets of a Fire King Stories","The first story collection from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's Daughter With The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards touched hearts across the nation.
