But still…

… Words Fall Short of Grief — Review: 'Where Reasons End' by Yiyun Li. (Hat tip, Dave Lull)

Make no mistake: Where Reasons End is a very good book about grief, lightly fictionalizing Li's actual experiences after the suicide of her 16-year-old son. If you're going to read just one piece of serious new literature this winter, Where Reasons End should be that book.
