The weave of their reflective monologues summons up with uncanny concreteness and detail an all-encompassing world: of their past loves, and of the vast but intimate New York City they all shared.\"A thought being thought but not felt is not a thought just a mirage...\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Mark Kramer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1963846265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963846263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sagging Meniscus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.35d","brand":"Frederick Mark Kramer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437194293503,"sku":"9781963846263","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33da7b95-bb03-4fb7-946a-2a3de15dadb5.jpg?v=1777160425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-shall-not-pass-frederick-mark-kramer-9781963846263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
