{"product_id":"queen-solomon-9781552453728","title":"Queen Solomon","description":"It's just another boring summer for our teenaged narrator -- until Barbra arrives. An Ethiopian Jew, Barbra was brought to Israel at age five, a part of Operation Solomon, and now our narrator's well-intentioned father has brought her, as a teen, to their home for the summer. But Barbra isn't the docile and grateful orphan they expect, and soon our narrator, terrified of her and drawn to her in equal measure, finds himself immersed in compulsive psychosexual games with her, as she binge-drinks and lies to his family. Things go terribly wrong, and Barbra flees. But seven years later, as our narrator is getting his life back on track, with a new girlfriend and a master's degree in Holocaust Studies underway, Barbra shows up at our narrator's house once again, her spiritual teacher in tow, and our narrator finds his politics, and his sanity, back in question.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eQueen Solomon\u003c\/i\u003e is another masterful take on the politics of sex, race, and power from the author of the Believer Book Award-winning \u003ci\u003eMaidenhead.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552453728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tamara Faith Berger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39955680100533,"sku":"9781552453728","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_21f7ae52-f0a9-4150-b08d-a8bd774c48c7.jpg?v=1620217005","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/queen-solomon-9781552453728","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
