Descriere
An unexpectedly life-affirming novel about choosing to die, by National Book Award winner and bestselling author of THE FRIEND'Love, death, friendship, compassion & SO MUCH wisdom. I just adore Sigrid Nunez' PAULA HAWKINSA woman visits a friend who is dying of cancer. Brilliant and stubborn, her friend makes a momentous request.
She wishes to end her life on her own terms - and she wants the narrator's help. Stricken, she agrees. 'I promise,' says the friend, 'to make it as much fun as possible.'What follows is an extraordinary tale of a friendship put to the greatest test: to witness, unflinching, its end.
It is also a portrait of the way we live now, in a world endlessly troubled by crises, and the dramatically changing nature of human relationships in our time. 'I was totally overwhelmed by this extraordinary novel. Even if it weren't about a subject dear to my heart I would be equally thrilled by its grace and profundity.
Sentence by sentence it's a total joy - and sometimes, much to my surprise, laugh-out-loud funny' DEBORAH MOGGACH'If the meaning of life is that it ends, Nunez gets to the nub of meaning in her brilliant novel. I loved it as much as The Friend' SUSIE STEINER'When I open one of [Sigrid Nunez's] novels, I almost always know immediately: This is where I want to be ... What Are You Going Through is as good as The Friend, if not better' NEW YORK TIMES

Recenzii
Love, death, friendship, compassion & SO MUCH wisdom. I just adore Sigrid Nunez
If the meaning of life is that it ends, Nunez gets to the nub of meaning in her brilliant novel. I loved it as much as The Friend
I was totally overwhelmed by this extraordinary novel. Even if it weren't about a subject dear to my heart I would be equally thrilled by its grace and profundity. Sentence by sentence it's a total joy - and sometimes, much to my surprise, laugh-out-loud funny
When I open one of [Sigrid Nunez's] novels, I almost always know immediately: This is where I want to be ... "What Are You Going Through" is as good as "The Friend," if not better
A true pleasure to read, a novel bursting with wit, warmth, and human empathy
Profound, moving and brilliant
Beauty, friendship, nature, art: These are the salves to loneliness and despair, and Nunez offers them all in this searching look into life and death
Brilliant ... The narrative control of this novel simply dazzles
A riveting picture of friendship intensifying as it draws to a close ... a rich meditation on companionship, loss and love
Remarkable ... powerful
Both wise and unsettling ... This book's quiet discovery is that, no matter how extreme the circumstances, "life must be dealt with"
I was dazed by the novel's grace
A smart look at the bonds and demands of friendship
Fans of Rachel Cusk will love this thoughtful, wise novel ... This complex tale demands the reader's attention, but is all the more satisfying for it
A funny and moving story of two women - one of whom has terminal cancer
A touching, poignant illustration of what it means to have empathy for the lives around you
A thought-provoking novel about life and death ... Nunez widens and narrows the focus of her lens, from the death of the world, to the death of a close friend and back again, with superb control. Her writing is taut, clear and insightful
Impossible to put down
Dryly funny and deeply tender
Spectacular
Sigrid Nunez orchestrates a beautiful chorus of humanness here, and the novel asks a question we might all be thinking in these distant times: What does it mean to really be there for someone in times of hardship?
With both compassion and joy, Nunez contemplates how we survive life's certain suffering, and don't, with words and one another
Much as in Rachel Cusk's recent work, the narrator is a conduit and sounding board for the stories of others... Deeply empathetic without being sentimental, this novel explores women's lives, their choices, and how they support one another....Highly recommended for readers who favour emotional resonance over escapism during difficult times
Nunez's prose is conspiratorial and elegant, whimsical and wise. Alongside a contemplation of mortality are winks: For all its pain and seriousness, life is absurd, comical; we humans are impossible to figure out - and yet so tender
CHOSEN AS A BEST BOOK OF 2020 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, TLS, GUARDIAN, NPR, PEOPLE, KIRKUS AND O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE
'When I open one of Sigrid Nunez's novels, I almost always know immediately: This is where I want to be' New York Times
The woman at the heart of this unforgettable novel finds that everyone she meets has a common need: to have an audience for their experiences. And so she tries to pay attention, to imagine and listen to what those around her are going through. But then an old friend makes an extraordinary request and draws her into an intense and transformative experience of her own.
