Lorrie Moore’s latest novel is a meditation on grief, love, and the absurdity of human existence. Finn, a history teacher, embarks on a surreal road trip with an unexpected passenger—his recently deceased ex-lover, Lily. As they travel together, their conversations oscillate between past regrets, existential musings, and dark humor. Interwoven with 19th-century letters that reveal another tragic love story, the novel explores how we hold onto the past, the ways we cope with loss, and the strange, sometimes comical, nature of existence itself. Reviews “A novel that manages to be both deeply funny and heartbreakingly sad. Lorrie Moore writes with unmatched wit and compassion, making every sentence a revelation.” — The New Yorker “A road trip novel unlike any other—profound, surreal, and deeply human. Moore’s writing is as sharp as ever, making this an unforgettable meditation on love and loss.” — The Washington Post “With her trademark blend of humor and poignancy, Lorrie Moore delivers another masterful novel that lingers in the mind long after the last page.” — Los Angeles Times
