You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",2020,506,[120],{"id":121,"slug":122,"name":123},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[125,129,133,134,138],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":19},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":135,"name":136,"slug":137,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":141,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":142,"themes":146,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[143,144,145],"tense","dark","thought-provoking",[147],"mystery-box",{"id":149,"slug":150,"title":151,"description":152,"primary_cover_url":153,"cover_blurhash":154,"first_publish_year":155,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":156,"authors":157,"genres":162,"series":174,"enrichment":175},"01kx25x5b7dzycv91qa7bx1kf1","things-ive-been-silent-about-memories-krrj","Things I've Been Silent about Memories","I started making a list in my diary entitled “Things I Have Been Silent About.” Under it I wrote: “Falling in Love in Tehran. Going to Parties in Tehran. Watching the Marx Brothers in Tehran. ReadingLolitain Tehran.” I wrote about repressive laws and executions, about public and political abominations. Eventually I drifted into writing about private betrayals, implicating myself and those close to me in ways I had never imagined. --FromThings I Have Been Silent About Azar Nafisi, author of the beloved international bestsellerReading Lolita in Tehran, now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country’s political revolution. A girl’s pain over family secrets; a young woman’s discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheaval–these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and “reminds us of why we read in the first place” (Newsday). Nafisi’s intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerizing fictions about herself, her family, and her past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed. Nafisi’s father escaped into narratives of another kind, enchanting his children with the classic tales like the Shahnamah, the Persian Book of Kings. When her father started seeing other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi’s complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal, as well as political, cultural, and social, injustices. Reaching back in time to reflect on other generations in the Nafisi family,Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis also a powerful historical portrait of a family that spans many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, which turned Azar Nafisi’s beloved Iran into a religious dictatorship. Writing of her mother’s historic term in Parliament, even while her father, once mayor of Tehran, was in jail, Nafisi explores the remarkable “coffee hours” her mother presided over, where at first women came together to gossip, to tell fortunes, and to give silent acknowledgment of things never spoken about, and which then evolved into gatherings where men and women would meet to openly discuss the unfolding revolution. Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis, finally, a deeply personal reflection on women’s choices, and on how Azar Nafisi found the inspiration for a different kind of life. This unforgettable portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is a stunning book that readers will embrace, a new triumph from an author who is a modern master of the memoir.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5bn1k9fxsbnce4a8acr.jpg?v=5b58a6e597","LuNmc-s;t7t7~qbHWBjaI9f6ofWV",2008,352,[158],{"id":159,"slug":160,"name":161},"01kjtmqk5cxq3h0pf50v43vqd0","azar-nafisi-5wth","Azar Nafisi",[163,167,168,172,173],{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":19},89,"Memoir","memoir",{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":19},{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":19},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":176,"themes":179,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[177,178],"reflective","emotional",[],{"id":181,"slug":182,"title":183,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":184,"cover_blurhash":185,"first_publish_year":186,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":187,"authors":188,"genres":197,"series":203,"enrichment":204},"01kx2ah4vsd8wc3gt0b6btg7rk","before-and-after-zshr","Before and After","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ah4wcccv1axs50e0meahd.jpg?v=a34d81d0a9","LLJjhvrF-.r?}=RkI;WV_2jZIpW;",2019,400,[189,193],{"id":190,"slug":191,"name":192},"01kp3s58qnhbjd05wp6p9729mk","lisa-wingate-pzcc","Lisa Wingate",{"id":194,"slug":195,"name":196},"01kx2ah4w6xgz16zyc9afqdte0","judy-christie-jdpn","Judy Christie",[198,199],{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":200,"name":201,"slug":202,"is_fiction":18},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":205,"themes":206,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[177,145],[],{"id":208,"slug":209,"title":210,"description":211,"primary_cover_url":212,"cover_blurhash":213,"first_publish_year":214,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":215,"authors":216,"genres":225,"series":227,"enrichment":228},"01kx276cq06wb22fr2h898jy8c","how-to-be-less-stupid-about-race-jr6e","How to Be Less Stupid About Race","\"A primer that explores how our racist American society socializes us all to be racially stupid--and what we can do about it\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx276cqtt719v78rrs7b0wfy.jpg?v=fa93aaba16","LQHM}YxYT#S*ror:XoT1Tgi^Vto}",2018,243,[217,221],{"id":218,"slug":219,"name":220},"01kx276cqbnch5n2866cygg4ft","crystal-marie-fleming-aaep","Crystal Marie Fleming",{"id":222,"slug":223,"name":224},"01kx276cqej5wk8e3r4bdz8ffd","melanie-taylor-fgld","Melanie Taylor",[226],{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":141,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":229,"themes":230,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[100,145],[],{"id":232,"slug":233,"title":234,"description":235,"primary_cover_url":236,"cover_blurhash":237,"first_publish_year":238,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":239,"authors":240,"genres":249,"series":255,"enrichment":256},"01kx27h139wp7hpjvkt5evnkp1","100-boyfriends-v76x","100 Boyfriends","An irrerverent, sensitive, and inimitable look at gay dysfunction through the eyes of a cult hero Transgressive, foulmouthed, and brutally funny, Brontez Purnell’s 100 Boyfriends is a revelatory spiral into the imperfect lives of queer men desperately fighting the urge to self-sabotage. As they tiptoe through minefields of romantic, substance-fueled misadventure—from dirty warehouses and gentrified bars in Oakland to desolate farm towns in Alabama—Purnell’s characters strive for belonging in a world that dismisses them for being Black, broke, and queer. In spite of it—or perhaps because of it—they shine. Armed with a deadpan wit, Purnell finds humor in even the darkest of nadirs with the peerless zeal, insight, and horniness of a gay punk messiah. Together, the slice-of-life tales that writhe within 100 Boyfriends are an inimitable tour of an unexposed queer underbelly.

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.

Bette, on a student-teaching assignment, meets Richard in the teachers' lounge. Seven weeks later, they're engaged! Richard and Bette manage to keep their young love hidden through clandestine post office boxes, dates in out-of-the-way places, and a loyal roommate sworn to keep their secret. But that secret comes out in the worst possible way, when their engagement announcement appears in the local paper a week early . . . before Richard has worked up the nerve to tell his parents! Slip into New York City's legendary Playboy Club with Bette and (underage) Richard. Enter the devious mind of her two-timing psychologist. Share their concern as they hide their love from school administrators who could expel them, and cheer for the housemother who winks and looks the other way. Throw into the mix outraged parents, scornful siblings, snickering friends, legal obstacles, and uncooperative clergy. They're always on the run from someone. But then, who can catch this couple in his Jaguar XKE? It's a hell of a ride!

Are you a smart, hard-working person who always seems to struggle financially? Do you ever second-guess decisions to pursue higher education because of your student loans? Has extreme budgeting eliminated joy and comfort from life, yet you're still several years away from being debt-free? Conventional wisdom tells us the formula for success is simple: go to school, get a job, work hard, repeat as needed until you retire. It tells us that debt is the result of poor choices and irresponsible spending. Unfortunately, such advice fails to take into account the recent (and not-so-recent) graduates for whom predatory student lending rates have set them back tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even enter the job market. In Buy the Avocado Toast, Stephanie Bousley shares lessons learned through years of working hard and perpetually undervaluing herself while coming to terms with owing almost $300,000 in student debt. Through a holistic approach to both net worth and self-worth, Bousley offers readers hope for their own financial situations by providing step-by-step instructions on reducing debt, living better, and rooting out the self-defeating beliefs that keep us broke.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26952w1yy99phtzhvpxvz4.jpg?v=f71c163cea","L6NKm4~R_9-$IyxFRpRk-|ae91j[",[443],{"id":444,"slug":445,"name":446},"01kx26952p3ymzkz8fsb37j1ry","stephanie-bousley-9xed","Stephanie Bousley",[448,452,456],{"id":449,"name":450,"slug":451,"is_fiction":19},95,"Self-Help","self-help",{"id":453,"name":454,"slug":455,"is_fiction":19},100,"Finance","finance",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":141,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":459,"themes":462,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[460,461],"inspiring","hopeful",[],[]]
