I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere

Hailed by Voici as \“a distant descendant of Dorothy Parker,\”\nprize-winning Anna Gavalda has caused an international sensation\nwith this dazzling collection of short stories selling over 700,000\ncopies in her native France. With arresting naturalism, a lively\nvariety of perspectives, Gavalda writes simply–and beautifully–of\nhuman beings longing to connect. Gavalda has a knack for capturing\nour inner as well as our outer dialogues with perfect pitch,\nprovoking reflection, pain, and laughter in equal measure. The\nstories in _I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere_are\nas wicked as they are insightful, as stylish as they are sparse, as\nfiercely unsentimental as they are emotionally wrought.
