Can it say goodbye to all that was?<\/p>\n<p>A stark and stunning debut, <em>I\u2019m From Nowhere<\/em> follows Claire as she mourns the sudden death of her husband and comes to terms with the fact of being a woman without a child, a job, or a man. She confronts a dying planet and an emerging sense of self. Lerman refuses easy answers and searches the treacherous depths of desire, pain, and entanglement, asking readers if it is possible for a woman to reclaim her life and set its terms without succumbing to suicide or submission.<\/p>\n<p>Told in subtly experimental, sparse prose, and set in the American Southwest of today or ten years from now, <em>I\u2019m From Nowhere<\/em> is a \u201cbreathtakingly honest, subversive\u201d examination of the stories we are told\u2014and the stories we tell ourselves\u2014about identity, permanence, and love.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial quote_icon_color=&#8221;#40282C&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2rem||1rem||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; body_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lerman\u2019s prose is precise and gutting\u2014the experience is like grazing death on the lips.
