Reviews
"The symphony of voices in Letter to a Stranger is at times rousing and exhilarating, at other times piercing and plaintive. The human condition is on full display, here in these fleeting glimpses of our essential connectedness. This beautiful book is a perfect one for our times. It reminds us that we are witnesses to one another's joys and heartaches, even if we never exchange a word." --Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance, " Letter to a Stranger is nothing less than a celebration of the adventure that is other people." -- Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply "The symphony of voices in Letter to a Stranger is at times rousing and exhilarating, at other times piercing and plaintive. The human condition is on full display, here in these fleeting glimpses of our essential connectedness. This beautiful book is a perfect one for our times. It reminds us that we are witnesses to one another's joys and heartaches, even if we never exchange a word." --Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance "By turns, moving, hilarious, and scary, this collection of taut fiery essays is a sprint around the world--all keyhole portraits of unexpected brushes with that one character who flares with meaning." -- Jack Hitt, author of Bunch of Amateurs

Synopsis
Lauren Groff, Elizabeth Kolbert, Pam Houston, Pico Iyer, T Kira Madden, Gregory Pardlo, Maggie Shipstead, and Peter Orner are among the 65 writers who grapple with this mystery: How can an ephemeral encounter leave an eternal mark?, "Beautiful. The human condition is on full display in these glimpses of our essential connectedness. Perfect for our times." --Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance Sixty-five extraordinary writers grapple with this mystery: How can an ephemeral encounter with a stranger leave such an eternal mark? When Colleen Kinder put out a call for authors to write a letter to a stranger about an unforgettable encounter, she opened the floodgates. The responses--intimate and addictive, all written in the second person--began pouring in. These short, insightful essays by a remarkable cast of writers, including Elizabeth Kolbert, Pico Iyer, Lauren Groff, Gregory Pardlo, Faith Adiele, Maggie Shipstead, Lia Purpura, Kiki Petrosino, and Jamil Jan Kochai, are organized around such themes as Gratitude, Wonder, and Farewell and guide us both across the globe and through the mysteries of human connection. Addressed to a first responder after a storm, a gambler encountered on jury duty, a waiter in Istanbul, a taxi driver in Paris, a roomful of travelers watching reality TV in La Paz, and dozens of others, the pieces are replete with observations about how to live and what we seek, and how a stranger's loaded glance, shared smile, or question posed can alter the course of our lives. Moving and unforgettable, Letter to a Stranger is an irresistible read for the literary traveler and the perfect gift for anyone who is haunted by a person they met once and will remember forever., Lauren Groff, T Kira Madden, Emmanuel Iduma, Jacquelyn Mitchard, and more than sixty other extraordinary writers grapple with this mystery: How can an ephemeral encounter with a stranger leave such an eternal mark?
