Description

A personal handbook on "how to live" - or perhaps more urgently "why to live" - is what Anelise Chen's debut novel offers. Blending elements of memoir and sports writing, the book takes the form of observations, reminders and self-exhortations that constitute a personal guide for navigating life's challenges. When news of a brilliant friend's suicide sends the narrator into a state of fear and doubt, the novel questions the validity of our current narratives of success. Through anecdotes and close readings of moments in the sports world, Chen explores the complexities of living and finding meaning. Written by Anelise Chen, whose fiction, essays and interviews have appeared in various publications, this experimental work is a thought-provoking exploration of life's most pressing questions.
