GRIEF IS FOR PEOPLE - SLOANE CROSLEY KARTONIERT...

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER   A VOGUE AND NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF 2024    'Obviously  Grief
Is for People is about grief  but Sloane Crosley can't help being funny' GABRIELLE ZEVIN    'A
stunning investigation into the nature of loss' VOGUE    'I am a Crosley fan and  to my mind 
this is her best book: subtle  brutal and  amazingly  funny  with twists that made me catch my
breath' SUNDAY TIMES   For most of her adult life  Sloane and Russell worked together and
played together as they navigated the corridors of office life  the literary world  and the
dramatic cultural shifts in New York City. One day  while Russell is still alive  Sloane's
apartment is broken into. Along with her most prized possessions  the thief makes off with her
sense of security  leaving a mystery in its place.  When Russell dies exactly one month later 
his suicide propels her on a wild quest to right the unrightable  to explore what constitutes
family and possession as the city itself faces the staggering toll brought on by the pandemic.
Crosley's search for truth is frank  darkly funny  and gilded with a resounding empathy.
Upending the 'grief memoir' in this deeply moving and surprisingly suspenseful portrait of
friendship  Grief Is for People is a category-defying story of the struggle to hold on to the
past without being consumed by it. A modern elegy  it is a book about loss packed with verve
for life  rising precisely to console and challenge our notions of mourning during these
grief-stricken times.
