Other People We Married by Emma Straub

Other People We Married by Emma Straub

The beloved story collection from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Vacationers, All Adults Here and This Time Tomorrow

In Other People We Married, Straub creates characters as recognizable as a best friend, and follows them through moments of triumph and transformation with wit, vulnerability, and dazzling insight. In "Some People Must Really Fall in Love," an assistant professor takes halting steps into the awkward world of office politics while harboring feelings for a freshman student. Two sisters struggle with old assumptions about each other as they stumble to build a new relationship in "A Map of Modern Palm Springs." In "Puttanesca," two widows move tentatively forward, still surrounded by ghosts and disappointments from the past. These twelve stories, filled with sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language, announce the arrival of a major new talent.

Emma Straub is a native New Yorker. Tin House, The Paris Review Daily, Time, Slate, and The New York Times have featured her fiction and nonfiction, and she is a staff writer for Rookie. Straub resides in Brooklyn with her husband and works as a bookstore.
