Nell Freudenberger - The Newlyweds
Nell Freudenberger reads from her new novel The Newlyweds ($25.95), a powerful, funny, richly observed tour de force by one of America’s most acclaimed young writers: a story of love and marriage, secrets and betrayals, that takes us from the backyards of America to the back alleys and villages of Bangladesh.
“Wise, timely, ripe with humor and complexity, The Newlyweds is one of the most believable love stories of our young century.” — Gary Shytengart
“Freudenberger draws women's complex lives as brilliantly as Austen or Wharton or Woolf, and, with The Newlyweds, has given a performance of beauty and grace.” — Andrew Sean Greer
“A
big, complicated portrait of marriage, culture, family, and love.
Freudenberger never settles for an easy answer, and what she delivers is
a story that feels absolutely true. Every minute I was away from this
book I was longing to be back in the world she created.” —Ann Patchett
“Exceptional . . . Here is an
honest depiction of life as most people actually live it: Americans and
Asians, Christians and Muslims, liberals and conservatives.
Freudenberger writes with a cultural fluency that is remarkable and in a
prose that is clean, intelligent, and very witty.” — David Bezmozgis
Nell Freudenberger is the author of the novel The Dissident and the story collection Lucky Girls, winner of the PEN/Malamud Award and the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; both books were New York Times Book Review Notables. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Award, and a Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Fellowship from the New York Public Library, she was named one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists and one of The New Yorker’s “20 Under 40.”
