I Loved This Book. I have a dog. Her name is Olive. She is sleeping at the foot of the bed as I write this. When I finished reading The Friend, my first instinct was to pick her up and hug her, but she was asleep and I did not want to disturb her. I love my dog, but now I love her even more. That is the effect this book has had on me.

The Friend. A wondrous tribute to friendship, how it nourishes us, and how nothing can fill the void when a much cherished friend departs

Read it. And then you’ll know why writing an online review while giving it stars is a melancholy act.

Lies about a dog & a real man !?!. 👎

The friend. Dark an uninspiring...

That’s weird.. I read this less than two weeks ago and can’t remember a single thing about it besides some vague meta-twist, the kind that seem to be all the rage these days. It’s disguise as a series of letters to a friend feels hollow with the way it is written, as if the writer was self-conscious and actually expected someone else to read these letters, writing to and for an audience instead of to a lost friend in a non-superficial, sincere manner. I guess she was though, joke’s on us.

Language & Grief. An intriguing and short novel on dealing with grief. Language, particularly the inability to use language when grieving is a powerful concept here. Additionally, how violence is a type of language itself is another thread to follow. Even the act of writing itself, as a outlet for grief, is questioned. The book conveys to me how fragmented language is and how insufficient the mechanisms for communicating across age, culture, class, and more are.
