Here Is Where We Meet

One of the most widely admired writers of our time returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels-"G. "and "To the Wedding "among them-with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life. One hot afternoon in Lisbon, the narrator finds his long-dead mother seated on a park bench. "The dead don't stay where they are buried," she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose, that carries us from the London Blitz in 1943, to a Polish market, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. "Here Is Where We Meet "is a unique literary journey that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the sensuous present.
