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.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029173887127,"sku":"9781770464070","price":1785.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781770464070.webp?v=1769203412","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-contradictions-9781770464070","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
