AWW21 What Are You Going Through? - Sigrid Nunez

Sigrid Nunez took twenty-five years to become an overnight success with her seventh book, the National Book Award winning The Friend, the story of a woman mourning the suicide of a close friend with the help of a Great Dane. Its narrator returns in her new book, What Are You Going Through? with another intimate spare story in which she helps her friend prepare for the end after a cancer diagnosis. A beautiful meditation on friendship, mortality and grief infused with generosity and wit.
