Our stubborn archivist takes us through first love and loss, losing and finding home, trauma and healing, and various awakenings of sexuality and identity. Shot through the novel are the narrator's trips to Brazil, sometimes alone, often with family, where she accesses a different side of herself--one, she begins to realize, that is as much of who she is as anything else. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A hypnotic and bold debut, \u003cem\u003eStubborn Archivist\u003c\/em\u003e is as singular as its narrator; a novel you won't soon forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yara Rodrigues Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0358006082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780358006084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019 pg. 31","brand":"Yara Rodrigues Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990159425791,"sku":"9780358006084","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91100db2-376f-4b46-b168-18cdbabcb5f9.jpg?v=1683303327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stubborn-archivist-yara-rodrigues-fowler-9780358006084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
