A haunting and thought-provoking consideration of death and how utterly it rips apart our lives. <em>Kirkus Reviews</em>, Starred Review</p><p><em>Planet Claire</em> is the story of the untimely death of the authors wife and his candid account of the following year of madness and grief. As his life unravels, Porter analyzes his sadness with growing interest. He talks to Claire as if to evoke a presence, to mark a space for memory. He reports on his daily walks and shares observations of lifes sadness, while reminiscing about various moments in their life together. Like Orpheus, the author searches for a lost love, and what he finds is not the dog of doom but flashes of an intimate symmetry that brighten the darkest places of sorrow.</p><p>The second title from Ann Hoods Gracie Belle imprint, <em>Planet Claire</em> takes readers on a journey of sorrow that recalls memorable works by C.S. Lewis (<em>A Grief Observed</em>), Joan Didion (<em>The Year of Magical Thinking</em>), and Julian Barnes (<em>Levels of Life</em>). Porters memoir, however, is also playful, quirky, and self-ironic in a way that challenges the genres traditional solemnity. Like the novel <em>Grief Is the Thing with Feathers</em> by Max Porter, this is an unpredictably funny account of heartbreak, as if to say theres something about the magnitude of loss that troubles even earnestness.</p>...3746183Planet Claire: Suite for Cello and Sad-Eyed Lovers206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/planet-claire--suite-for-cello-and-sad-eyed-lovers-9781617758690/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3650613/dc94a2db-129d-4e6d-8df9-f9b9a1049cd2.jpg?v=638869371703470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219781617758690_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_<p><strong>The second installment in Ann Hoods Gracie Belle imprint challenges the traditional solemnity that characterizes nonfiction books of grief, loss, and sorrow.</strong></p><p>Few readers will fail to be gripped by this tragically common story about death and</p>...(*_*)9781617758690_<p><em><strong>The second installment in Ann Hoods Gracie Belle imprint challenges the traditional solemnity that characterizes nonfiction books of grief, loss, and sorrow.</strong></em></p><p>Few readers will fail to be gripped by this tragically common story about death and what comes after for those left behind . . .
