Come to Me

di Amy Bloom (Autore)

Spiegel & Grau by Spotify Audiobooks, 2025

First time available as an audiobook. Read by the author “Bloom writes about passion—shameful, blissful, and perverse. . . . Her voice is sure and brisk, her language often beautiful; the result is humorous and well as heartrending fiction. . . . Her work has the power both to disturb and to console.”—The New York Times Book Review “Amy Bloom writes about the young, the old, the mad, the sane, Jews, Catholics, whites, blacks, men, women, furriers, musicians, doctors, young mothers, people dying, people living. . . . The point-of-view shifts are endlessly fascinating, the voices in perfect tune. She can handle unspeakable pain with the quiet authority of a Chekhov, but has an even rarer gift: she describes happiness so that we can share in it. This is a book of love.”*—*Ursula K. Le Guin “Come to Me is charged from the first line. . . . Then step by step it gathers weight, texture, and power, and suddenly it ends with what is really another beginning. . . . We know we are in the hands of a real writer.”—Margo Jefferson, The New York Times “A wonderful collection of stories by a writer of amazing skill, intelligence and compassion.”—Alice Hoffman A National Book Award finalist, twice honored in Best American Short Stories, Come to Me is the stunning first collection of stories from New York Times bestselling author Amy Bloom. These twelve stories lead us around hidden corners and through the trapdoors of family and marriage, friendship and betrayal. In search of love, the characters of Come to Me—from psychiatrists crossing professional boundaries, to fathers chasing after redemption, to wives reinvented as mistresses—are forever shaken and changed, discovering at once the dark depths of their own passions and the possibility of a new kind of grace.
