- Summary:
- "Thirteen of Sigrid Nunez's short stories in one volume"-- Provided by publisher.
- Over the course of thirty years, Sigrid Nunez has become one of contemporary fiction's most beloved and distinctive voices, producing nine profound, penetrating, and singular novels celebrated by fans and critics alike. Revered for her "wry, withering wit" (NPR) and deceptively simple style combining intelligent frankness and "bright good humor" (New York Times), Nunez's fiction offers "a world of insight into death, grief, art, and love" (Wall Street Journal) in novels "as sophisticated as they are straightforward" (New York Times Magazine). But she has not, until now, produced a book of stories. With It Will Come Back to You, Nunez gives us thirteen stories collected in one volume. Carefully selected from three decades of work, these stories show the origins of her style as well as her incomparable range as an artist. Moving from the momentous to the mundane, Nunez maintains her irrepressible humor, bite, and insight, her expert balance between intimacy and universality, gravity and levity, all while entertainingly probing the philosophical questions we have come to expect, such as: How can we withstand the passage of time? Is memory the greatest fiction?
