This collection covers a wide range of angles and experiences, from an exploration of IBM's anechoic chamber--the world's quietest place-- to stories of incest, marriage, sexual harassment, social justice, and first-person accounts of life in the emirate of Qatar. P疵amo crosses the borders between art (Mozart, Monet, Beethoven, Sheila Chandra, Neruda) and yoga, between research and drunkenness, between despair and triumph, weaving the intimate and personal with what is upsetting in women's health industry. In \"Belated Comebacks,\" P疵amo is full of righteous anger; in \"Teaching Mom Long Division,\" she explores the oceanic depths of longing; in \"Writers of Color,\" she examines the complexities of being brown and speaking accented English; in \"Three Women,\" she exposes the social underbelly of Qatar during the pandemic, then mixes it all with personal reckonings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adriana Paramo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636281842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636281841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Adriana Paramo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45481820520703,"sku":"9781636281841","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4da74005-eca6-49fd-8d74-b046dda9673d.jpg?v=1715987784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/keeping-quiet-adriana-paramo-9781636281841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
