HTML:<b>The <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling, National Book Award–winning author of <i>The Friend</i> and <i>What Are You Going Through</i> brings her singular voice to a story about modern life and connection<br /> “I am committed, until one of us dies, to Nunez’s novels. I find them ideal. They are short, wise, provocative, funny — good and strong company.” —Dwight Garner, <i>The New York Times</i><br /> “With the intimacy and humor of a great conversation, this novel makes you feel smarter and more alive.” —<i>People Magazine</i><br /> “An ode to our basic need to connect with other beings, be they human or animal, even in a global crisis that told us to stay apart.” —NPR<br /></b><br /> Elegy plus comedy is the only way to express how we live in the world today, says a character in Sigrid Nunez’s ninth novel. <i>The Vulnerables</i> offers a meditation on our contemporary era, as a solitary female narrator asks what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the way a person looks back on her past.<br /> Humor, to be sure, is a priceless refuge. Equally vital is connection with others, who here include an adrift member of Gen Z and a spirited parrot named Eureka. <i>The Vulnerables</i> reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress. A search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time, Nunez’s new novel is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself. Media Type: eBook.
