For readers of Elena Ferrante, Nicole Krauss, and Carmen Maria
Machado, In Other Lifetimes All I've Lost Comes Back to Me is a
braided story collection that invokes the real, surreal, and mythic
to explore the longings and loneliness of contemporary love.
Populated with lovers who leave and return, with ghosts of the
Holocaust and messages from the dead, Courtney Sender's debut
collection speaks in a singular new voice about the longings and
loneliness of contemporary love. The world of these fourteen
interlocking stories is fiercely real but suffused with magic and
myth, dark wit, and distinct humor. Here, ancient loss works its
way deep into the psyche of modern characters, stirring their
unrelenting lust for life. In "To Do With the Body," the Museum of
Period Clothes becomes the perfect setting for a bloody crime. In
"Lilith in God's Hands," Adam's first wife has an affair in the
Garden of Eden. And in the title story, a woman spends her life
waiting for any of the men who have left her to come back, only to
find them all at her doorstep at once. For readers of Elena
Ferrante, Nicole Krauss, and Carmen Maria Machado, and for anyone
who has known love and loneliness, In Other Lifetimes All I've Lost
Comes Back to Me is a wise and sensual collection of old hauntings,
new longings, and unexpected returns, with a finale that is a
rousing call to the strength we each have, together or alone.
