And So We Die, Having First Slept

Jennifer Spiegel

4.9/5 (15058 ratings)

Description:AND SO WE DIE, HAVING FIRST SLEPT is about marriage. Brett is ten years older than Cash; both are world-weary—one from negotiating brain trauma and bad love, the other from hiding and reviving addiction. Bath salts and babies work on their ten-year relationship, forcing them to begin again one way or another. There is also a play on the identity of Sappho, which cleverly refuses to reduce her mysterious identity to sexual orientation, and rather considers her emotional landscape and her impulse to write poetry. "Weird, true, and singular." - Kyle Minor, author of Praying Drunk "Jennifer Spiegel's much-anticipated second novel teems with intelligence and candor, assuredly. But oh, more than that, even, it's that voice--it darts, it vamps, it dives, and most of all it scrutinizes, squarely, head-on, witty and withering. In this multitudinous soliloquy of a book, we get the relentless quest of a self-determined to narrate itself into being and becoming. Devour it; I did." – Tim Horvath, Understories“Middle-class and middle-aged, yearning to be both ‘normal and extraordinary,’ Brett orchestrates a hungry union, as “uncontained” as she is. Brett and Cash’s hard love jostles the wheel. Whether holding the unnerving stare of a swaddled newborn, stomaching months of expired salads, or drawing the shower curtain over meth fire damage, these are tight-fisted lovers. This is Spiegel’s most intimate and crushingly honest book to date.” -- Julie Hensley, author of Landfall “With witty dialogue, thorough details of Americana, page-turning romantic magnetism, and quotidian relationships, Spiegel combines historical and political acuity with a finger on the pulse of the cultural psyche. From Phoenix to Berlin, from USC to U Mass, the characters in And So We Die, Having First Slept find solace and solutions in Adderall and cognitive therapy alike.” – Patricia Colleen Murphy, Founding Editor of Superstition ReviewWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
