Told in alternating first-person chapters from Icy's childhood and adulthood, the novel blends memoir-like intimacy with fiction, exploring themes of identity, faith, and belonging.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2dbh2dsq55w3vr7pte8328.jpg?v=80fcae78bd","L5C$.r0f-pae00%hROt7_ND$%MIU",2001,340,[363],{"id":364,"slug":365,"name":366},"01kx2dbh2adjh99zjcz6htewe6","gwyn-hyman-rubio-uoa1","Gwyn Hyman Rubio",[368,369],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":19},{"id":243,"name":244,"slug":245,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":115,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":372,"themes":373,"setting_period":10,"summary":357,"content_warnings":10},[224,121,350],[374,375],"coming-of-age","dual-timeline",[377,483],{"key":378,"params":379,"works":380},"genre_year",{"genre":32,"year":9},[381,391,401,411,432,452],{"id":176,"slug":177,"title":178,"description":179,"primary_cover_url":180,"cover_blurhash":181,"first_publish_year":182,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":183,"authors":382,"genres":384,"series":387,"enrichment":388},[383],{"id":186,"slug":187,"name":188},[385,386],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":19},{"id":117,"name":192,"slug":193,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":196,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":389,"themes":390,"setting_period":10,"summary":179,"content_warnings":10},[198,199],[],{"id":280,"slug":281,"title":282,"description":283,"primary_cover_url":284,"cover_blurhash":285,"first_publish_year":286,"community_rating_avg":287,"community_rating_count":136,"page_count":288,"authors":392,"genres":394,"series":397,"enrichment":398},[393],{"id":291,"slug":292,"name":293},[395,396],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":19},{"id":297,"name":298,"slug":299,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":115,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":399,"themes":400,"setting_period":10,"summary":283,"content_warnings":10},[224,121],[],{"id":305,"slug":306,"title":307,"description":308,"primary_cover_url":309,"cover_blurhash":310,"first_publish_year":311,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":312,"authors":402,"genres":404,"series":407,"enrichment":408},[403],{"id":315,"slug":316,"name":317},[405,406],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":19},{"id":321,"name":322,"slug":323,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":116,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":409,"themes":410,"setting_period":10,"summary":308,"content_warnings":10},[327,149],[],{"id":412,"slug":413,"title":414,"description":415,"primary_cover_url":416,"cover_blurhash":417,"first_publish_year":418,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":419,"authors":420,"genres":425,"series":428,"enrichment":429},"01kx2jzpjshzs4nnc4jnbkms07","untitled-cmrf","흰","A woman who has spent her life trying to erase the violence of a past she cannot name begins to feel something strange and uncontrollable: a desire for light.

A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. 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. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",2004,[517],{"id":518,"slug":519,"name":520},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[522,523,527],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":18},{"id":524,"name":525,"slug":526,"is_fiction":18},103,"Society","society",{"id":528,"name":529,"slug":530,"is_fiction":18},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":116,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":533,"themes":535,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[149,534],"satirical",[],{"id":202,"slug":203,"title":204,"description":205,"primary_cover_url":206,"cover_blurhash":207,"first_publish_year":208,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":209,"authors":537,"genres":539,"series":542,"enrichment":543},[538],{"id":212,"slug":213,"name":214},[540,541],{"id":217,"name":218,"slug":219,"is_fiction":18},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":115,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":544,"themes":545,"setting_period":10,"summary":205,"content_warnings":10},[224,121],[],{"id":547,"slug":548,"title":549,"description":550,"primary_cover_url":551,"cover_blurhash":552,"first_publish_year":553,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":554,"authors":555,"genres":560,"series":566,"enrichment":567},"01kx2699c630x5n5cwwpzq5915","how-did-you-get-this-number-essays-ajak","How Did You Get this Number Essays","A brand-new book of hilarious and insightful personal essays by the iconic, irresistible Sloane Crosley. From the author of the sensational bestseller I Was Told There'd Be Cake comes a new book of personal essays brimming with all the charm and wit that have earned Sloane Crosley widespread acclaim, award nominations, and an ever-growing cadre of loyal fans. In Cake readers were introduced to the foibles of Crosley's life in New York City-always teetering between the glamour of Manhattan parties, the indignity of entry-level work, and the special joy of suburban nostalgia-and to a literary voice that mixed Dorothy Parker with David Sedaris and became something all its own. Crosley still lives and works in New York City, but she's no longer the newcomer for whom a trip beyond the Upper West Side is a big adventure. She can pack up her sensibility and takes us with her to Paris, to Portugal (having picked it by spinning a globe and putting down her finger, and finally falling in with a group of Portuguese clowns), and even to Alaska, where the \"bear bells\" on her fellow bridesmaids' ponytails seemed silly until a grizzly cub dramatically intrudes. Meanwhile, back in New York, where new apartments beckon and taxi rides go awry, her sense of the city has become more layered, her relationships with friends and family more complicated. As always, Crosley's voice is fueled by the perfect witticism, buoyant optimism, flair for drama, and easy charm in the face of minor suffering or potential drudgery. But in How Did You Get This Number it has also become increasingly sophisticated, quicker and sharper to the point, more complex and lasting in the emotions it explores. And yet, Crosley remains the unfailingly hilarious young Everywoman, healthily equipped with intelligence and poise to fend off any potential mundanity in maturity.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2699cn2hcq82s87dkyr84f.jpg?v=c04b44656e","L34.0aE2oyM{~Ut6M{WC?GbFkBRj",2010,281,[556],{"id":557,"slug":558,"name":559},"01kp6bp47w9safdqgdwwkjyevb","sloane-crosley-poem","Sloane Crosley",[561,565],{"id":562,"name":563,"slug":564,"is_fiction":19},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":116,"complexity":10,"audience":118,"mood":568,"themes":570,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[327,569,121],"lighthearted",[],[]]
