She decides to study abroad, choosing Paris for no firm reason beyond liking French comics. Feeling a bit lonely and out of place, she's desperate for community and a sense of belonging. She stumbles into what\/who she's looking for when she meets Zena. An anarchist student-activist committed to veganism and shoplifting, Zena offers Sophie a whole new political ideology that feels electric. Enamored--of Zena, of the idea of living more righteously--Sophie finds herself swept up in a whirlwind friendship that blows her even further from her rural California roots as they embark on a disastrous hitchhiking trip to Amsterdam and Berlin, full of couch surfing, drug tripping, and radical book fairs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCapturing that time in your life where you're meeting new people and learning about the world--when everything feels vital and urgent--\u003ci\u003eThe Contradictions\u003c\/i\u003e is Sophie Yanow's fictionalized coming-of-age story. Sophie's attempts at ideological purity are challenged time and again, putting into question the plausibility of a life of dogma in a world filled with contradictions. Keenly observed, frank, and very funny, \u003ci\u003eThe Contradictions\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to a specific reality while also being incredibly relatable, reminding us that we are all imperfect people in an imperfect world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Yanow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770464077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770464070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/2020 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2020 pg. 38","brand":"Sophie Yanow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050949308671,"sku":"9781770464070","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471684dd-7536-4edf-9c85-198c2b9d2660.jpg?v=1685010194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-contradictions-sophie-yanow-9781770464070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
