Oblivion
An After Autobiography

Quotes

“A mesmerizing meditation on immortality, both the literary and fleshly kinds, and its ultimate unattainability…Like language, like summer, like love, Oblivion is irresistible.” Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize–wining author

“A tour de force. Oblivion is a marvel of the imagination and intellect. Hemley has…created a book that is a relentless page turner: funny and wise, exuberant and sad, insightful and magical, and—most wonderful of all—deeply, deeply human.” Connie May Fowler, author of How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly

“Oblivion is a deeply intelligent and strikingly honest exploration of what ultimately drives a writer to write, and the cold loneliness of the journey, and how literary success in one’s lifetime is, at best, a fickle proposition. I will tell every writer I know, struggling or successful, to read this book.” Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir
