The Vulnerables
Sigrid Nunez“I am committed, until one of us dies, to Nunez’s novels. I find them ideal. They are short, wise, provocative, funny — good & strong company.” — Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"Cracks open windows & offers a reassuring breeze, reminding us that it’s OK — and perhaps even necessary — to need each other; it’s only human." — San Francisco Chronicle

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 & 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 & a spirited parrot named Eureka. The Vulnerables reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other & 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 & purpose of writing itself.
