About the book
"Why do you write?" the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews--all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer--surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands.
