{"product_id":"we-had-no-rules-9781551527994","title":"We Had No Rules","description":"A young teenager stays a step ahead of her parents' sexuality-based restrictions by running away and learns a very different set of rules. A woman grieves the loss of a sister, a \"gay divorce,\" and the pain of unacknowledged abuse with the help of a lone wallaby on a farm in Washington State. A professor of women's and gender studies revels in academic and sexual power but risks losing custody of the family dog. \u003cbr\u003e In Corinne Manning's stunning debut story collection, a cast of queer characters explore the choice of assimilation over rebellion. In this historical moment that's hyperaware of and desperate to define even the slowest of continental shifts, when commitment succumbs to the logic of capitalism and nobody knows what to call each other or themselves--Gay? Lesbian? Queer? Partners? Dad?--who are we? And if we don't know who we are, what exactly can we offer each other? \u003cbr\u003e Spanning the years 1992 to 2019, and moving from New York to North Carolina to Seattle, the eleven first-person stories in \u003ci\u003eWe Had No Rules\u003c\/i\u003e feature characters who feel the promise of a radically reimagined world but face complicity instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551527994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 5.91w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Corinne Manning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659528040604,"sku":"9781551527994","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5ebb4b3f-804f-4867-9be6-1e4da26ad6b1.jpg?v=1603895009","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/we-had-no-rules-9781551527994","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
