“What Are You Going Through,” Sigrid Nunez: I think the idea here was to present enough death and sadness to crack open our ability to empathize. With whom? Each other, ourselves, the limits of language, the ineptitude of memory, and the loss of truth, which in a way is the loss of what substitutes for solid ground. In other words, it’s very 2020. She offers the most razor-thin moment of redemption, and honestly, I was surprised it showed up. The fact that it did allowed me to untie my hangman’s noose, pocket the euthanasia pill, and trigger my guillotine safely. . . . . #sigridnunez #book #bookstagram #books #bookworm #bookreview #bookshelf #makethehang https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNoX8ElNMc/?igshid=19h92wasgiiub
