What Comes Next and How to Like It is a beautifully felt, deeply moving memoir, the best work yet by a woman who has already done some of the best work in the field. It's about friendship, and the shocks friendship can endure when it's true and deep. It's about the rueful pleasures (not to mention the jarring pitfalls) of getting old. It's about enduring tragedy, sickness, and loss. Thomas speaks of these big things by scattering the ordinary jewelry of everyday life: loving dogs (even when they chew your most precious possessions), Googling old boyfriends, rescuing an orphan mouse, and trees that try to grow in the crack between boards. Small speaks for large here, in a calm voice that talks to the mind while it fills the heart. Abigail Thomas is the Emily Dickinson of memoirists, and so much of this book's wisdom is between the lines and in the white spaces. It may only take you two days to read, but the impact will stay with you for a long, long time. Abigail Thomas fills memory with living breath., This episodic memoir is full of love and life. Readers will identify with the feelings and the people even as they realize how different they are, how wondrous., This may be the most honest book I've ever read, by one of the most beautiful writers I know-- dizzyingly truthful, often funny, lyrical, wise., [Thomas] is in total control of the narrative even when she feels that she's not--a string of tragedies pieced together with undeterred grace....each scene feels fresh and alive., Beautifully written...wry...resilient. Her mature bones may not be all that flexible but her topics and sentences flip and cartwheel with the greatest of ease., Infused with her signature sense of mordancy and wit... For Thomas, the only option is to remain in the present, in the never-ending now.... exquisite ., Abigail Thomas knows adversity and how to make some kind of joy out of it... a meditation on aging and family that brings to mind Anne Lamott or Anna Quindlen... her gift is to never ponder too long on life's woes., [Thomas] is in total control of the narrative even when she feels that she's not-a string of tragedies pieced together with undeterred grace....each scene feels fresh and alive., A keenly observed memoir...[Thomas] writes of the changes aging brings us all and of coping through love: of family, dogs, a well-turned phrase. She is superb company ., What Comes Next and How to Like It is plain-spoken and wise. Thomas's chapters are brief (some just a paragraph, none longer than three pages), but they feel complete and full. She says what she means and no more. (But she says it beautifully.)", A former book editor and memoirist's accountof the remarkable 35-year friendship that sustained her through the trials andtribulations of adult life...A moving andeloquent memoir., I would follow Abigail Thomas on any journey she ever takes. The arrival of a new book from this master is always a cause for celebration, because I know right away that I'm about to learn something important about the art of writing and the art of living, both. I come to her books as though to a feast, and leave fulfilled and transformed., Full of love, humor, anger and a certain amount of uncertainty.... Although most of these passages are very short and read almost like journal entries, the overall picture Thomas conveys is that of the deep, soul-level relationships that exist between her and her family and with Chuck, connections that make all the highs and lows of life livable., A nearly unforgivable betrayal in the middle of [a] long friendship somehow didn't end it... and it's this spirit of stalwart love and loyalty that makes Thomas's work so moving... The result is a book that reads very quickly, but lingers long after., The astonishingly rhapsodic What Comes Next and How to Like It is this master stylist's best work yet...One of the many gifts of What Comes Next is the news Thomas brings us from the front lines of old age, peppery and witty, neither romanticized nor denied., Beautiful... What Comes Next and How to Like It is ultimately about how to live with the hand one is dealt: its disappointments and surprises, the grief and the grace... The result is a thing of beauty, largely owing to the author's utter fearlessness in the face of the unexpected., Thomas has another winner with WHAT COMES NEXT AND HOW TO LIKE IT... a rich, multifaceted portrait of the author's daily life in Woodstock, New York, with her beloved dogs. She is both forthright and self-deprecatingly funny ... readers will treasure this journey with a writer who comes across as a compelling, lively friend., Hilarious, wise, generous...full of interesting places and people and art and feeling and moment and thought.
Synopsis
In her bestselling and beloved memoir A Three Dog Life , Abigail Thomas wrote about the tragic loss of her husband. In What Comes Next and How to Like It , she writes about aging, family, creativity, tragedy, friendship, and the richness of life. And it is exhilarating. What comes next? What comes after the devastating loss of a spouse? What form does a lifelong friendship take after deepest betrayal? How does a mother cope with her child's dire illness? Or the death of a cherished dog? And how to like it? How to accept, appreciate, enjoy? How to find solace and pleasure? How to sustain and be sustained by our most trusted, valuable companions? Exquisitely observed, lush with sentences you will underline and reread, What Comes Next and How to Like It is an extraordinarily moving memoir about many of life's greatest challenges and inimitable rewards. It is also the story of the friendship between Abigail Thomas and a man she met thirty-five years ago. Through marriages, child raising, and the vicissitudes and tragedies that befall them both, this rich bond has helped her face whatever comes next with courage, exuberance, and grace.
