It Will Come Back to You

The first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend.

Over the course of thirty years, Sigrid Nunez has become one of contemporary fiction’s most distinctive voices, producing nine penetrating, profound novels celebrated by fans and critics alike. Revered for their warm, unadorned style, Nunez’s books are as sophisticated as they are straightforward, melding a wry, withering wit with explosions of pathos to conjure worlds of insight into death, grief, art, and love.

But she has not, until now, produced a book of stories. In It Will Come Back to You, Nunez brings together thirteen of her best stories from the decades-long sweep of her career, tracing the origins of her style and her remarkable artistic range. Moving from the momentous to the mundane, Nunez maintains her expert balance between gravity and levity while probing the philosophical questions that illuminate her work.
