Overview
This four-book collection brings together fiction and nonfiction from acclaimed American writer Sigrid Nunez, known for her spare, intelligent prose and close attention to memory, intimacy, and loss. The set spans Mitz, a true story of the Woolfs' pet marmoset; For Rouenna, a novel of the Vietnam War; It Will Come Back to You, a collection of stories; and Naked Sleeper, an early novel of longing. Together these four titles offer a rewarding cross-section of Nunez's literary voice, ideal for fans filling gaps in their collection or newcomers exploring her earlier work.

About the Books
Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury recounts the true story of a sickly young marmoset nursed back to health by Leonard Woolf in 1934, who became a fixture of Bloomsbury society, accompanying Leonard and Virginia Woolf between London and Sussex and forming her own bond with each of them, and with their cocker spaniels. For Rouenna follows a writer who receives a letter from a childhood acquaintance asking to meet; captivated by the stories Rouenna tells of her time as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator refuses her request to collaborate on a memoir, and the novel unfolds around memory, guilt, and the ethics of storytelling. It Will Come Back to You gathers thirteen stories drawn from across three decades of Nunez's career, never before collected in one volume, ranging from a teenage crush to a therapist's second chance at love, a showcase of the range that has made Nunez one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive voices. Naked Sleeper rounds out the set with an early novel centered on a woman named Nona, who longs for purpose, order, and dignity even as that ideal keeps slipping away; at an artists' retreat where she intends to finally write her own book, she instead finds herself drawn into an unsettling affair. Nunez's hallmark restraint, wit, and precision are on full display throughout the collection.
