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.",2008,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5bn1k9fxsbnce4a8acr.jpg?v=5b58a6e597","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5b7dzycv91qa7bx1kf1.png?v=f435f0d44c","LuNmc-s;t7t7~qbHWBjaI9f6ofWV",0,352,400,"complete",true,false,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":26},"01kjtmqk5cxq3h0pf50v43vqd0","azar-nafisi-5wth","Azar Nafisi","author","Azar Nafisi is the author of the bestselling memoir *Reading Lolita in Tehran*.

How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” —MALALA YOUSAFZAI ​ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 SELECTED BY VULTURE, TIME, ESQUIRE, NPR, AND VOGUE! Young Nadia Owusu followed her father, a United Nations official, from Europe to Africa and back again. Just as she and her family settled into a new home, her father would tell them it was time to say their goodbyes. The instability wrought by Nadia’s nomadic childhood was deepened by family secrets and fractures, both lived and inherited. Her Armenian American mother, who abandoned Nadia when she was two, would periodically reappear, only to vanish again. Her father, a Ghanaian, the great hero of her life, died when she was thirteen. After his passing, Nadia’s stepmother weighed her down with a revelation that was either a bombshell secret or a lie, rife with shaming innuendo. With these and other ruptures, Nadia arrived in New York as a young woman feeling stateless, motherless, and uncertain about her future, yet eager to find her own identity. What followed, however, were periods of depression in which she struggled to hold herself and her siblings together. “A magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters” (Elle), Aftershocks depicts the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. “Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism” (The Washington Post), Aftershocks joins the likes of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and William Styron’s Darkness Visible, and does for race identity what Maggie Nelson does for gender identity in The Argonauts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g.jpg?v=abd45b6424","LZM3Tb=Y}qW,:+O=,pt7BoIpwgV[",2021,320,[184],{"id":185,"slug":186,"name":187},"01kx2ezfanvz9stpf6aa86geg2","nadia-owusu-iafq","Nadia Owusu",[189,190,191],{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":194,"themes":195,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[141,140,172],[],{"id":197,"slug":198,"title":199,"description":200,"primary_cover_url":201,"cover_blurhash":202,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":204,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":16,"authors":206,"genres":211,"series":219,"enrichment":220},"01kx27x0zfy7717e25mtdap2qb","notes-on-a-silencing-su72","Notes on a Silencing","\"When the elite St. Paul's School came under state investigation after extensive reports of sexual abuse on campus, Lacy Crawford thought she'd put behind her the assault she'd suffered decades before, when she was fifteen. Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",2020,"3.00",1,[207],{"id":208,"slug":209,"name":210},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[212,213,217,218],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":214,"name":215,"slug":216,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":135,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":221,"themes":224,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[222,140,223],"dark","tense",[],{"id":226,"slug":227,"title":228,"description":229,"primary_cover_url":230,"cover_blurhash":231,"first_publish_year":232,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":233,"authors":234,"genres":239,"series":243,"enrichment":244},"01kx2951hfcerganp7n353sa9r","more-than-enough-dqal","More Than Enough","INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2020 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK — BIOGRAPHY\u002FAUTOBIOGRAPHY NOW OPTIONED FOR DEVELOPMENT AS A TV SERIES BY PARAMOUNT TELEVISION STUDIOS AND ANONYMOUS CONTENT “The millennial Becoming . . .

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.

At the age of thirty-five, Jenifer dreams of falling in love and starting a family. Then she notices muscle twitches in her legs. Walking down a city block feels exhausting. At first, doctors write off Jenifer's symptoms to stress, but she is quickly diagnosed with ALS, a fatal brain disease that is absolutely untreatable. Max out your credit cards and see Paris, suggests one doctor. Instead of preparing to die, Jenifer gets busy. She dreams deeper, works harder, and loves endlessly. For Jenifer, being fatally ill is not about letting go. It's about holding on and reaching -- for family, friends, goals. Jenifer's girlhood pact with her sisters Valerie and Meredith -- nothing will ever break us apart -- guides them as Jenifer faces down one of the most devastating illnesses known to humankind. That same enduring pact inspires the creation of Project A.L.S., a movement started by the sisters that changes the way science and medicine approach research for ALS and the related diseases Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and which has already raised more than $18 million. Will Project A.L.S. help scientists discover medicine in time for her? Jenifer answers these questions and others in this beautifully written and wholly inspiring memoir that celebrates a life fuelled by memory.

But what about E. Jean’s side of the story? What about the flight suits, the bottle of green Chartreuse, and the bob? Not My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box. You will hear Alina Habba, Esq., “Trump’s most beautiful attorney,” asking E. Jean to “list” the people she has “slept with”—a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean’s “psychiatric evaluations,” and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump’s gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her. You will be in on the choosing of the “clothes for court,” and the creation of “the look”: a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf’s with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom.

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",506,[324],{"id":325,"slug":326,"name":327},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[329,330,331,332,336],{"id":214,"name":215,"slug":216,"is_fiction":19},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":333,"name":334,"slug":335,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":339,"themes":341,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[223,222,340],"thought-provoking",[342],"mystery-box",{"id":344,"slug":345,"title":346,"description":347,"primary_cover_url":348,"cover_blurhash":349,"first_publish_year":350,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":351,"authors":352,"genres":357,"series":364,"enrichment":365},"01kx243x2f47xn3vcn12s3bamv","starcrossed-699d","Starcrossed,","Her parents said, \"You're marrying a seventeen-year-old Jewish high school student?\" His parents said, \"You're in love with a twenty-one-year-old Catholic senior in college?\" And then the fun began . . . .

The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Marcus Samuelsson was only three years old when he, his mother, and his sister--all battling tuberculosis--walked seventy-five miles to a hospital in the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Adaba. Tragically, his mother succumbed to the disease shortly after she arrived, but Marcus and his sister recovered, and one year later, they were welcomed into a loving middle-class white family in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was there that Marcus's new grandmother, Helga, sparked in him a lifelong passion for food and cooking with her pan-fried herring, her freshly baked bread, and her signature roast chicken. From a very early age, there was little question what Marcus was going to be when he grew up. Yes, Chef chronicles Marcus Samuelsson's remarkable journey from Helga's humble kitchen to some of the most demanding and cutthroat restaurants in Switzerland and France, from his grueling stints on cruise ships to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a coveted New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. But Samuelsson's career of \"chasing flavors,\" as he calls it, had only just begun--in the intervening years, there have been White House State dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs and, most important, the opening of the beloved Red Rooster in Harlem. At Red Rooster, Samuelsson has fufilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room--a place where presidents and prime ministers rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, bus drivers, and nurses. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home. With disarming honesty and intimacy, Samuelsson also opens up about his failures as a man--the price of ambition, in human terms--and recounts his emotional journey, as a grown man, to meet the father he never knew. Yes, Chef is a tale of personal discovery, unshakable determination, and the passionate, playful pursuit of flavors--one man's struggle to find a place for himself in the kitchen, and in the world\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2e8p85754qs5kcr5y9h1er.jpg?v=1e29942bcb","LDFMzd$f0jI=}n$$I=NI1Js.}DR,",2012,319,[408],{"id":409,"slug":410,"name":411},"01kx2e8p7gpq0q6j29w5f8a61g","marcus-samuelsson-vhwh","Marcus Samuelsson",[413,414,415],{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":416,"name":417,"slug":418,"is_fiction":19},112,"Cooking","cooking",[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":421,"themes":423,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[172,422],"heartwarming",[],{"id":425,"slug":426,"title":427,"description":428,"primary_cover_url":429,"cover_blurhash":430,"first_publish_year":276,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":431,"authors":432,"genres":437,"series":444,"enrichment":445},"01kwzr1e2rksqxfde9347amj4w","one-bullet-away-t7gc","One Bullet Away","A former captain in the Marines' First Recon Battalion, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, reveals how the Corps trains its elite and offers a point-blank account of twenty-first-century battle.

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",2004,[512],{"id":513,"slug":514,"name":515},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[517,521,522],{"id":518,"name":519,"slug":520,"is_fiction":18},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":333,"name":334,"slug":335,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":312,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":525,"themes":526,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[223,172],[],{"id":528,"slug":529,"title":530,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":531,"cover_blurhash":532,"first_publish_year":533,"community_rating_avg":277,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":7,"authors":534,"genres":539,"series":542,"enrichment":543},"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",2010,[535],{"id":536,"slug":537,"name":538},"01kx2cs38ye18gx0521px6vb28","wayne-dementi-rkd5","Wayne Dementi",[540,541],{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":333,"name":334,"slug":335,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":544,"themes":545,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[172,369],[],{"key":547,"params":548,"works":549},"genre_mood",{"genre":46,"mood":140},[550,575,597,621,632,652],{"id":551,"slug":552,"title":553,"description":554,"primary_cover_url":555,"cover_blurhash":556,"first_publish_year":557,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":558,"authors":559,"genres":564,"series":570,"enrichment":571},"01kx2gshg9xeqj44jw2ywvbygg","notes-of-a-native-son-s2id","Notes of a Native Son","A collection of ten essays in which James Baldwin confronts race, identity, and the Black experience in America through personal reflection and sharp social critique.

As featured in When They See Us—the Netflix limited series created, written, and directed by Ava DuVernay that retells the story of the Central Park Five, the young men wrongly accused of this crime. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life. With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s challenges….Meili’s story—the story the public never knew—is unforgettable” (The Buffalo News).","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23jntf5755fe2s0raaj2zw.jpg?v=02d0d32171","LVPP_hyCXlMd.TRksWo}tnVsVstR",2003,280,[698],{"id":699,"slug":700,"name":701},"01kx23jnt94mkg614b97mbk48t","trisha-meili-nggg","Trisha Meili",[703,704,705,706],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":214,"name":215,"slug":216,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":707,"name":708,"slug":709,"is_fiction":19},95,"Self-Help","self-help",[],{"pace":135,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":712,"themes":713,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[172,140],[],{"id":248,"slug":249,"title":250,"description":251,"primary_cover_url":252,"cover_blurhash":253,"first_publish_year":232,"community_rating_avg":254,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":255,"authors":715,"genres":717,"series":721,"enrichment":722},[716],{"id":258,"slug":259,"name":260},[718,719,720],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":723,"themes":724,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[141,140],[],{"id":726,"slug":727,"title":728,"description":729,"primary_cover_url":730,"cover_blurhash":731,"first_publish_year":732,"community_rating_avg":204,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":733,"authors":734,"genres":739,"series":746,"enrichment":747},"01kx2fecqv54fw63y1t49qh2yw","black-ice-pgog","Black Ice","Lorene Cary's debut memoir recounts her years as the only Black student at St. Paul's School, a prestigious New England boarding school, and the racial isolation that drove her toward marijuana use in an attempt to cope with loneliness and prejudice.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2fecrdh19ct42x0npmp5rb.jpg?v=c8d8160980","LMCHNcyZERnNPEaIr;jskEMwn$S%",1991,262,[735],{"id":736,"slug":737,"name":738},"01kx2fecr8zc0r43ctby3zd68f","lorene-cary-3dmq","Lorene Cary",[740,741,745],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":742,"name":743,"slug":744,"is_fiction":18},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":135,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":748,"themes":749,"setting_period":7,"summary":729,"content_warnings":7},[140,573],[],{"id":293,"slug":294,"title":295,"description":296,"primary_cover_url":297,"cover_blurhash":298,"first_publish_year":299,"community_rating_avg":277,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":90,"authors":751,"genres":753,"series":758,"enrichment":759},[752],{"id":302,"slug":303,"name":304},[754,755,756,757],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":214,"name":215,"slug":216,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":312,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":760,"themes":761,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[223,172],[],{"id":763,"slug":764,"title":765,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":766,"cover_blurhash":767,"first_publish_year":456,"community_rating_avg":254,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":7,"authors":768,"genres":773,"series":776,"enrichment":777},"01kx24m5dazxf1c9ay5tvm14p8","the-memory-palace-jwxb","The Memory Palace","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24m5e8pbrjzp1y53zhq0ft.jpg?v=11a133963f","LLOpJE%2%fjF~pj]WWt7_0WBWBoe",[769],{"id":770,"slug":771,"name":772},"01kx24m5draw0v3h7tng5s5czm","mira-bartok-gvkl","Mira Bartok",[774,775],{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":135,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":778,"themes":779,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[573,140],[],[]]
