The Vulnerables by Sigrid Nunez Hardcover Book

Description: The Vulnerables by Sigrid Nunez "The New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend and What Are You Going Through brings her singular voice to a story about modern life and connection Elegy plus comedy is the only way to express how we live in the world today, says a character in Sigrid Nunezs ninth novel. The Vulnerables 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. 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. The Vulnerables 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 anothers distress. A search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time, Nunezs new novel is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself."

Review Praise for The Vulnerables "Hilarious and deeply reflective."-TIME "Funny and thoughtful. . .Nunez manages to make a story of mortality go down easy." -Publishers Weekly "Nunezs subject is the core business of being alive: the tenuous beauty of human connection, the nature of memory, the purpose of writing, the passage of time. . .the result is almost arrestingly straightforward. Spare and understated and often quite funny, the experience is less like reading fiction than like eavesdropping on someone elses brain. . . .[The Vulnerables] itself is strangely, sweetly hopeful. . .Sharp--and surprisingly tender."--Kirkus, STARRED reviw Details ISBN Author Sigrid Nunez Pages 325 Publisher Thorndike Press Large Print Edition Description Large type / large print edition Year 2024 ISBN-13 9798885791212 Format Hardcover Imprint Thorndike Press Large Print Country of Publication United States DEWEY 813.54 Audience General Publication Date 2024-02-06 US Release Date 2024-02-06 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
