"As good as The Friend, if not better." (The New York Times)
"Impossible to put down...leavened with wit and tenderness." (People)
"I was dazed by the novel’s grace." (The New Yorker)
The New York Times best-selling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend brings her singular voice to a story about the meaning of life and death, and the value of companionship.
A woman describes a series of encounters she has with various people in the ordinary course of her life: an ex she runs into by chance at a public forum, an Airbnb owner unsure how to interact with her guests, a stranger who seeks help comforting his elderly mother, a friend of her youth now hospitalized with terminal cancer. In each of these people, the woman finds a common need: the urge to talk about themselves and to have an audience to their experiences. The narrator orchestrates this chorus of voices for the most part as a passive listener, until one of them makes an extraordinary request, drawing her into an intense and transformative experience of her own.
In What Are You Going Through, Nunez brings wisdom, humor, and insight to a novel about human connection and the changing nature of relationships in our times. A surprising story about empathy and the unusual ways one person can help another through hardship, her book offers a moving and provocative portrait of the way we live now.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Richly interiorized ... With both compassion and joy, Nunez contemplates how we survive life’s certain suffering, and don’t, with words and one another.” (Booklist [starred review])
"Short, sharp, and quietly brutal ... spare and elegant and immediate ... What Are You Going Through is concerned with the biggest possible questions and confronts them so bluntly it is sometimes jarring: How should we live in the face of so much suffering? Dryly funny and deeply tender.” (Kirkus Reviews [starred review])
“Much as in Rachel Cusk’s recent work, the narrator is a conduit and sounding board for the stories of others.... Deeply empathetic without being sentimental, this novel explores women’s lives, their choices, and how they support one another.... Highly recommended for readers who favor emotional resonance over escapism during difficult times.” (Library Journal [starred review])

Obviously, not everyone agrees because most American states do not authorize assisted suicide. Nunez offers no definitive opinion. Her main character is helping a friend make a choice about a cancer patient's own life, but the author leaves the choice unmade at the end of her story. At best, Nunez's story leaves reader/listener's on their own about a person's right to take their own life. Maybe that is her point, but it leaves this critic unsatisfied.
