An extraordinary literary work, Dear Mr. You renders the singular arc of a woman's life through letters Mary-Louise Parker composes to the men, real and hypothetical, who have informed the person she is today. Beginning with the grandfather she never knew, the letters range from a missive to the beloved priest from her childhood to remembrances of former lovers to an homage to a firefighter she encountered to a heartfelt communication with the uncle of the infant daughter she adopted.

I was in the same freshman drama class as ML, so to read her account of those days and people was to relive them with a sensitive clarity I never could have done even in real time. What astonishes me most though is the way she uses her poetic voice to render a life that is by turns fragile, humble, angry, lovely, loving, triumphant and most of all fierce, girl! We the reader have no choice but to confront, then know and then finally love ourselves more deeply…if only to ape the love bursting to escape from a heart as large as hers. Each chapter/letter left me in tears. What kept me going was the promise that in reading further I’d invariably laugh loudly enough to disturb my subway neighbors and next have my breath deftly stolen by unimaginably gorgeous word choice. I need a moment to stop tingling but I cannot wait to reread this poignant affirmation of life!
