Description
But she has not, until now, produced a book of stories. With It Will Come Back to You, Nunez gives us thirteen stories collected in one volume. Carefully selected from three decades of work, these stories show the origins of her style as well as her incomparable range as an artist.
Moving from the momentous to the mundane, Nunez maintains her irrepressible humor, bite, and insight, her expert balance between intimacy and universality, gravity and levity, all while entertainingly probing the philosophical questions we have come to expect, such as: How can we withstand the passage of time? Is memory the greatest fiction?
The first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award–winning author of The Friend
