The Friend / A Novel, Audiobook Online By: Sigrid Nunez
A touching story of love, friendship, pain, healing and the magical bond between a woman and her dog.
When a woman unexpectedly loses her best friend and lifelong mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he left behind. Her battle against her own pain is intensified by the dog’s silent suffering, a giant Great Dane traumatized by her owner’s inexplicable disappearance and by the threat of a shaft. Export: Dogs are banned in her apartment building.
While others worried that the pain had made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refused to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with caring for the dog, determined to read his mind and understand his heart, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. But while there’s a lot of trouble, the rewards are rich and surprising for both.
Elegiac and Search, The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a tribute to man’s devotion to dogs.
Especially for writers and lovers of literary fiction. Full of writer in jokes and writer’s humor. More than that, it is full of heart and pain and it is a long love. Did I mention brilliant. Great storyteller. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
When I first started listening, with no prior knowledge of the story or the author, I thought Oh my God, this is a staring author. But I was hiking so I kept listening, and then…Oh. No, that’s not it. It was bright and gently subversive, not staring but incredibly introspective in a way that drew me in and held me. The narrator’s voice facilitates the entire experience. I would give more stars if I could.
