Dear friend, from my life I write to you in your life
Li, Yiyun, 1972-2018
Books, Manuscripts
Written over two years while the author battled suicidal depression, this book is a painful and yet richly affirming examination of what makes life worth living. Li grew up in China, her mother suffering from mental illness, and has spent her adult life as an immigrant in a country not her own. She has been a scientist, an author, an immigrant, a mother - and through it all, she has been sustained by a deep connection with the writers and books she loves.
