![]() ![]() ![]() Greedy follows Jen's attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be "queer enough," and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you're the posterchild for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused. Jen's provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood "girl crush," an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex. Or wait-maybe she isn't? Actually, she definitely is. If Jen Winston knows one thing for sure, it's that she's bisexual. Perfect for fans of Lindy West, Samantha Irby, and Rebecca Solnit-and anyone who wants, and deserves, to be seen. A hilarious and whip-smart collection of essays, offering an intimate look at bisexuality, gender, and, of course, sex. ![]()

The other symbol in the story, the dead letters, is as if explaining the scrivener’s strange behavior at the very end of the story. Bartleby separated himself from people, he did not communicate with anybody. ![]() The symbol of walls in the story is that all Bartlebys’ life was concentrated inside that room and that division from the whole society was present.

Capitalism, and its effect on society, are shown through Wall Street and the citizens of this street. Wall Street is the symbol of the whole of New York’s life, when the atmosphere in offices is friendly, while the whole environment is isolative, if not hostile. Wall Street also symbolizes the development of capitalism in that society. ![]() The street, where Bartleby works are situated on Wall Street, which was the center of the business and financial life of New York when the story was written.

Like Feyi, Alim is an artist who lost a spouse too soon, and while their connection is enriched by this common ground, their attraction is elemental. It’s his elegant, gorgeous father, celebrity chef Alim Blake. It’s just the break Feyi needs, but five minutes after their plane touches down, she knows that the man she’s drawn to isn’t Nasir. He invites Feyi to visit his Caribbean island home, where he’ll introduce her to his art collector father and the curator of a group exhibition of artists of the Black diaspora. Nasir is a patient, kind and determined (slightly) younger man with the resources of a minor prince.

While most Russians, including single mothers, believe that two-parent families are preferable, many also contend that single motherhood is an inevitable by-product of two intractable problems: "weak men" (reflected, they argue, in the country’s widespread, chronic male alcoholism) and a "weak state" (considered so because of Russia’s unequal economy and poor social services). ![]() ![]() Drawing on extensive ethnographic and interview data, Jennifer Utrata focuses on the puzzle of how single motherhood―frequently seen as a social problem in other contexts―became taken for granted in the New Russia. Women without Men illuminates Russia’s "quiet revolution" in family life through the lens of single motherhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() But, in this moment, as I stared down at Riley’s face, still stained with the tears she’d cried on me, a black wave of fury settled into my soul.
