News from Spain: Seven Variations on a Love Story | Joan Wickersham

1 post | 3 read | 5 to read

A "San Francisco Chronicle" and NPR Best Book of the Year The author of the acclaimed memoir "The Suicide Index" returns with a virtuosic collection of stories, each a stirring parable of the power of love and the impossibility of understanding it. Spanning centuries and continents, from eighteenth-century Vienna to contemporary America, Joan Wickersham shows, with uncanny exactitude, how we never really know what's in someone else's heart--or in our own.

The News from Spain: Seven Variations on a Love Story | Joan Wickersham

pick

A book of short stories that are linked only by the phrase “the news from Spain.” The various contexts in which it emerged in each tale created a sense of anticipation that captivated me. The book itself is a meditation on all the things love is or can be: Love between wives and husbands, parents and children, caregivers and those in their care, friends, lovers – the countless ways it conforms, fails, confuses, surprises and enriches us.
