The first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The FriendOnce you discover Sigrid Nunez, you dont look back ANNE ENRIGHTAmong the most interesting writers of our generation INDEPENDENTNunez gracefully leaps from big emotions, including grief, to erudite literary digressions or biting wit WALL STREET JOURNALOne of my favourite authors NATALIE PORTMANThe new book from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award winner Sigrid Nunez: her first short story collection, taking in thirteen stories from a career spanning three decades. Moving from from an inappropriate teenage crush to a therapists second chance at love, from the momentous to the mundane, Nunez maintains her irrepressible humour, bite, and insight, her expert balance between intimacy and universality, gravity and levity, all while entertainingly probing the philosophical questions we have come to expect from her writing, such as: How can we withstand the passage of time? Is memory the greatest fiction?Whats consistent across Nunezs books is their searching tone about the biggest of lifes questions WASHINGTON POSTLong live Sigrid Nunez LAURA MARLINGI am committed, until one of us dies, to Nunezs novels. They are short, wise, provocative, funny DWIGHT GARNER, NEW YORK TIMES
