Beschreibung
"e;A deep and howling portrait of longing and loneliness."e; -Boston Globe A distinctive debut from a promising author. Kirkus Reviews A stunner from the very first page. Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, in the MillionsAnd praise from Ann Patchett, Alice McDermott, Danielle Evans, Elisa Albert, and Aimee BenderPopulated with lovers who leave and return, with ghosts of the Holocaust and messages from the dead, Courtney Sender s debut collection speaks in a singular new voice about the longings and loneliness of contemporary love. The world of these fourteen interlocking stories is fiercely real but suffused with magic and myth, dark wit, and distinct humor. Here, ancient loss works its way deep into the psyche of modern characters, stirring their unrelenting lust for life.In To Do With the Body, the Museum of Period Clothes becomes the perfect setting for a bloody crime. In Lilith in God s Hands, Adam s first wife has an affair in the Garden of Eden. And in the title story, a woman spends her life waiting for any of the men who have left her to come back, only to find them all at her doorstep at once.For readers of Elena Ferrante, Nicole Krauss, and Carmen Maria Machado, and for anyone who has known love and loneliness, In Other Lifetimes All I ve Lost Comes Back to Me is a wise and sensual collection of old hauntings, new longings, and unexpected returns, with a finale that is a rousing call to the strength we each have, together or alone.
