Synopsis
"No one is smarter or funnier about the absurdities and agonies of modern love. Reading You is an affair to relish and remember."—Hilda Wolitzer
With each new novel, Jonathan Baumbach nudges the parameters of the novel—this time his narrator remembers, or invents, or imagines, the life of a not easily defined woman known only as You. It's another great look at the idea of love and the many various holds it can take.
Jonathan Baumbach is the author of fourteen books of fiction, and has also published over ninety stories in such places as Esquire and Boulevard.

His short stories have been anthologized in Best American Short Stories, O.Henry Prize, and The Best of Tri-Quarterly.
