I AM HOMELESS IF THIS IS NOT MY HOME

A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER
Lorrie Moore''s first novel since A Gate at the Stairs-a daring, meditative exploration of love and death, passion and grief, and what it means to be haunted by the past, both by history and the human heart.

"The prose [of I Am Homeless If This is Not My home] might be her finest." -Claire Messud, Harper''s

"An exquisite exploration of grief, longing, and our relationship with the past . . . mixing comedy with tragedy, and exploring what it means to be alive." -Kristyn Kusek Lewis, Real Simple

From"one of the most acute and lasting writers of her generation" (Caryn James; The New York Times)-a ghost story set in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, an elegiac consideration of grief, devotion (filial and romantic), and the vanishing and persistence of all things-seen and unseen.
