WHAT ARE YOU GOING THROUGH - SIGRID NUNEZ KARTO...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER The New York Times-bestselling  National Book Award-winning author of The
Friend brings her singular voice to a story about the meaning of life and death  and the value
of companionship.   A woman describes a series of encounters she has with various people in the
ordinary course of her life: an ex she runs into by chance at a public forum  an Airbnb owner
unsure how to interact with her guests  a stranger who seeks help comforting his elderly mother
a friend of her youth now hospitalized with terminal cancer. In each of these people the woman
finds a common need: the urge to talk about themselves and to have an audience to their
experiences. The narrator orchestrates this chorus of voices for the most part as a passive
listener  until one of them makes an extraordinary request  drawing her into an intense and
transformative experience of her own.  In What Are You Going Through  Nunez brings wisdom 
humor  and insight to a novel about human connection and the changing nature of relationships
in our times. A surprising story about empathy and the unusual ways one person can help another
through hardship  her book offers a moving and provocative portrait of the way we live now.
