–bestselling  National Book Award–winning author of The Friend and What Are You Going Through
brings her singular voice to a story about modern life and connection  “I am committed  until
one of us dies  to Nunez’s novels. I find them ideal. They are short  wise  provocative  funny
— good and strong company.” — Dwight Garner  The New York Times   “With the intimacy and humor
of a great conversation  this novel makes you feel smarter and more alive.” — People Magazine 
“An ode to our basic need to connect with other beings  be they human or animal  even in a
global crisis that told us to stay apart.” — NPR  Elegy plus comedy is the only way to express
how we live in the world today  says a character in Sigrid Nunez’s ninth novel. The Vulnerables
offers a meditation on our contemporary era  as a solitary female narrator asks what it means
to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the
way a person looks back on her past.   Humor  to be sure  is a priceless refuge. Equally vital
is connection with others  who here include an adrift member of Gen Z and a spirited parrot
named Eureka. The Vulnerables reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their
hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress. A
search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time  Nunez’s new novel
is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself.
