To Be a Man: Stories by Nicole Krauss

4.0

“When I go to kiss him good night, he curls his body into mine and in a nervous voice tells me that he wants to remain a child, that he doesn’t want anything to change. But already he is no longer a child. He is standing out on a bank between the shore and the sea that goes on and on, and the water, as they say, is rising”

a beautiful collection of short stories. raw and human. messy and beautiful.
