Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life ~ Hardback ~ Yiyun Li

In her first nonfiction book, award-winning novelist Yiyun Li explores a question we ask ourselves: How does one make life livable? Startlingly original and shining with quiet wisdom, this is a luminous account of a life lived with books. Written over two years while the author battled suicidal depression, Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life is a painful and yet richly affirming examination of what makes life worth living. Li takes us on a journey through the deepest themes that bindWilliam Trevor, Katherine Mansfield, and other writers together.
