Nine women confront loss with extreme measures: a widow seeks comfort in strangers, a pregnant artist flees her marriage, a single woman idealizes her last date. Nina, protagonist of the final story, attends the funerals of the previous ones to feel she belongs. Mordant humor and a raw look at grief and loneliness.
20th anniversary edition of the work originally published in 2003, born as a column in The New York Times Magazine. Ingram Prize and chosen best debut novel by The New York Resident.
For readers of literary fiction and short stories that tackle grief and loneliness with black humor and an unflinching gaze.
