About Writers & Lovers
"I loved this book not just from the first chapter or the first page but from the first paragraph... The voice is just so honest and riveting and insightful about creativity and life." -- The London Evening Standard.
“Wonderful, witty, heartfelt… Writers & Lovers is a funny novel about grief, and, worse, it’s dangerously romantic, bold enough and fearless enough to imagine the possibility of unbounded happiness” -- Washington Post
“Elegant… The nimble, astute narration appeals. This meditation on the passing of youth is touching and ruefully funny.”-- Publishers Weekly
