Praise

“A poignant memoir of the felicitous and infelicitous contingencies that shape the course of a life, Perdita testifies to the irreducible uniqueness of each human being, and the power of writing to ensure the survival of the universe they once were.”
—Ryan Ruby, author of The Zero and the One

“Eloquent and vivid reflections on the work of mourning.”
—Lynne Segal, author of Lean on Me: A Politics of Radical Care

“Excavates the experience of loss in all its terrible solitude and intimacy.”
—Benjamin Kunkel, author of Utopia or Bust: A Guide to the Present Crisis

“In telling the story of learning to love and then learning to grieve, Riley traces a deep human connection that is rare in our fragmented world.”
—Sarah Jaffe, author of From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire

“Through rich description…and palpable emotion … Riley succeeds in his goal of capturing the precise character of his marriage for Eamon’s benefit. It’s an intimate and indelible elegy.”
Publishers Weekly

“Precision is what makes Perdita, throughout its 192 pages, both so endearing and so heartbreaking … a text of great generosity and warmth.”
—Lamorna Ash, Telegraph
