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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 606\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.35 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131325399179,"sku":"9781963846263","price":58.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/5UIrCUoBQ59781963846263.webp?v=1780541260","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/they-shall-not-pass-a-novel-of-madrid-and-manhattan-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
