This program is read by the author.

Disarmingly witty and poignant, Sloane Crosley’s memoir explores multiple kinds of loss following the death of her closest friend.

Grief Is for People is a deeply moving and surprisingly suspenseful portrait of friendship, and a book about loss packed with verve for life. Sloane Crosley is one of our most renowned observers of contemporary behavior, and now the pathos that has been ever present in her trademark wit is on full display. After the pain and confusion of losing her closest friend to suicide, Crosley looks for answers in friends, philosophy, and art, hoping for a framework more useful than the unavoidable stages of grief.

For most of her adult life, Sloane and Russell worked together and played together as they navigated the corridors of office life, the literary world, and the dramatic cultural shifts in New York City. One day, while Russell is still alive, Sloane’s apartment is broken into. Along with her most prized possessions, the thief makes off with her sense of security, leaving a mystery in its place.

When Russell dies exactly one month later, his suicide propels her on a wild quest to right the unrightable, to explore what constitutes family and possession as the city itself faces the staggering toll brought on by the pandemic.

Crosley’s search for truth is frank, darkly funny, and gilded with a resounding empathy. Upending the “grief memoir,” Grief Is for People is the category-defying story of the struggle to hold on to the past without being consumed by it. A modern elegy, it rises precisely to console and challenge our notions of mourning during these grief-stricken times.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Is it wrong to say that a memoir about loss and grieving is fun to read? If so, I’m in trouble, because I enjoyed every word of this book. I also ached and suffered along with Crosley: Her portrait of mourning after the suicide of her best friend is gutting and deeply engaging."—Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief

"Potent and propulsive, a lyrical meditation on loss and what comes after. Grief Is for People is heartbreaking and wholly original."—Tara Westover, author of Educated

"I have come to rely on Sloane Crosley for her oyster knife humor, bourbon hot observation, and indelible portraits of how we live with each other. Grief Is For People is about how we live without the ones we love. Crosley brings her whole self to this memoir—her gifts, her flaws, her intellect, her wit and emotion. She loves hard, grieves hard, and writes with the beauty and urgency of a white hot star. I wish I didn’t 'get' this book as much as I do but Grief Is for People is the book I didn’t know I needed to read."—Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage

Editorial Review

A raw portrait of loss and longing
Recently, a close friend had asked me to recommend a feel-good listen unmarred by major heartache or tragedy. It took a while to drum one up, as the opposite is pretty much my speciality. Strange as it sounds, I consider myself somewhat of a grief memoir connoisseur, and I’ve found some of the most human stories are those that deal with our universally inevitable end. The reality is that to live and love is to grieve. And it’s a reality that writer Sloane Crosley knows well. In this moving, thoughtful, and wry eulogy for a beloved late friend, she considers how to carry on alongside such gutting absence. As she explores the depthless void wreaked by loss, be it by death or burglary, she offers a new perspective on how to move forward in the face of the unfathomable. It's such a deeply touching story, made all the more affecting in Crosley's own voice. — Audible Editor, Alanna M.

Though it must have been unpleasant to live through, it was enjoyable and intriguing to read. And very relatable if you are a person and have ever lost anything or anyone. I feel like I watched the thoughts, things and places of several long years go by and back by the author's mind in the fast talking slow moving world of New York book publishing and friendship.

A good story about living through loss well told

Have read the print copy also and believe the author’s narration add so much. Think everyone would find something meaningful and moving but especially the case for those who have experienced a similar loss

This book is about everything. I walked 15 miles “reading” it. Sloan’s voice is beautiful and yet not lulling. The prose leaps even in audio, and the small and large revelations are too numerous to list. It’s also funny and I cried twice standing still, earbuds in.

Spectacular

I am a fan of all her very clever and self-revealing books. This book is by far her most heart-felt disclosure. I could completely understand her grief at the loss of family heirlooms - even though they were Just things. They were connections to previous generations. When you loose something belonging to family, it causes grief over their death all over again. The loss of her friend due to suicide takes us through not only the pain at the loss of a friend, but also the unique grief that a suicide inflicts on all members of a family and social circle. Suicide is a different kind of loss.

Yet, this is not a morose book. Russell Perreault sparkles in her remembrances. Ms. Crosley finds a way to honor her friend a nd move through her grief.

Ms. Crosley’s writing just gets better and better.

So beautiful and honest. Devastating and funny. Seemlessly interwoven with what, on the surface, seems like an unrelated trauma. Loved it.

Beautiful masterpiece
