Acerca de esta escucha
"Once I read the first story in Are You Happy?, I put aside everything else to savor the rest. This is a wise collection, capturing its characters swimming upstream to encounter their fates. With vivid and compassionate prose that explores the countless ways we betray and then rediscover ourselves, Lori Ostlund reminds us of the vitality of the genre."—Jai Chakrabarti, author of A Play for the End of the World and A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness
Nine exquisite stories that explore class, desire, identity, and the specter of violence that looms daily over women and the LGBTQ+ community.
An aspiring veterinarian survives a plane crash and starts life over in California. A woman mourns the loss of her childhood friend's innocence and rethinks justice. A queer teacher's sense of safety in the classroom is destroyed. With settings ranging from small-town Minnesota to New Mexico, from bars and bedrooms to a furniture store and a community college, Are You Happy? casts a spotlight on people who try—and often fail—to make peace with their pasts while navigating their present relationships and notions of self. In prose that is evocative and restrained, unpredictable and masterful, Lori Ostlund offers a darkly humorous and compassionate examination of America's preoccupation with loneliness, happiness, guns, and violence.

On the surface, Jensy Willett appears to have it all: a supportive family, good friends, and an outstanding high school and college basketball career. But beneath that surface she hides a situation that has destroyed every meaningful romantic relationship she's had. As a result she has vowed to keep that secret locked deep within her. So when she begins graduate school, Jensy decides to shun possible romance to focus on her studies, and in that way, prevent any further relationship failures.
