Reviews
"A poignant reflection on loss and companionship."-- Marie Claire "A wry riff on Rilke's idea of love as two solitudes that 'protect and border and greet each other.'"-- Vogue "An elegant, moving, thoughtful meditation on grief, friendship, healing, and the bonds between humans and dogs." -- Buzzfeed "Quietly brilliant and darkly funny... [ The Friend is] rigorous and stark, so elegant--so dismissive of conventional notions of plot--it hardly feels like fiction. Breathtaking both in pain and in beauty; a singular book." --Kirkus, starred review "Riveting... This elegant novel explores both rich memories and day-to-day mundanity, reflecting the way that, especially in grief, the past is often more vibrant than the present." -- Publishers Weekly "Nunez offers an often-hilarious, always-penetrating look at writing, grief, and the companionship of dogs." -- Booklist "This is a slow, poignant meditation on grief, rife with pithy literary myths and quotations... Literature nerds, creative writing students, and dog lovers will find this work delightful. Recommended for literary fiction collections." --Library Journal "Nunez's story of a dog and his inadvertent caregiver is a darkly humorous and unsentimental tale of friendship, mourning, and solace." -- Electric Lit "The intensity and elegance of The Friend mean two things--you cannot put it down and you will cry. In a novel about loss and the loneliness of writing and imagination, Sigrid Nunez creates an irresistible tale of love and an unforgettable Great Dane. A beautiful, beautiful book--the most original canine love story since My Dog Tulip ." --Cathleen Schine, bestselling author of They May Not Mean To, But They Do Praise for Sigrid Nunez: "Nunez's writing is gorgeously spare." -- The Boston Globe "Nunez's keen powers of observation make her a natural chronicler." -- The New York Times Book Review "Refreshingly impatient with the conventions of fiction, Nunez is capable of upending our expectations to powerful ends." -- The New York Review of Books "Nunez has proved herself a master of psychological acuity." -- The New Yorker "Nunez is an uncompromising talent in her own right." -- Vogue, "The intensity and elegance of The Friend mean two things--you cannot put it down and you will cry.

The New York Times A moving story of love, friendship, grief, healing, and the magical bond between a woman and her dog. When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. But while troubles abound, rich and surprising rewards lie in store for both of them.
