We have the Winter 2017-2018 spoilers for Quarterly Co.’s PageHabit Literary Fiction Box.
Welcome award-winning Sigrid Nunez and her latest novel, The Friend!
A moving story of love, friendship, grief, and healing.
When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend, she finds herself burdened with the dog he left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the disappearance of its master. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog, she comes dangerously close to unraveling.
The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion.
“Quietly brilliant and darkly funny… [The Friend is] rigorous and stark, so elegant—so dismissive of conventional notions of plot—it hardly feels like fiction. Breathtaking both in pain and in beauty; a singular book.” — Kirkus, starred review
Our quarterly Literary Fiction box will feature an annotated edition of The Friend, plus two additional books handpicked by Sigrid, along with quality goods to round out the box.
This box will ship out at the beginning of February, at the same time The Friend is set to hit shelves!
