NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER, VULTURE, AND ELECTRIC LITERATURE
From the acclaimed author of one of Barack Obama's favorite books of 2024 The Anthropologists, comes a masterful collection of stories about distance and closeness in the age of connectivity.
"An exceptionally elegant, intelligent, and original writer.” --Sigrid Nunez
"She is an author who simply, and astoundingly, knows." --Bryan Washington
"The rigor of Didion and the tenderness of Sebald." --Catherine Lacey
"One of my favorite writers." --Katie Kitamura
A researcher abroad in Rome eagerly awaits a visit from her long-distance lover, only to find he is not the same man she remembers. An expat meets a childhood friend on a layover and is dismayed by her unexpected contentment. A newly pregnant woman considers the American taboo of sharing the news too soon, but can’t resist when an opportunity comes to patch up a damaged friendship.
Long Distance showcases Savas’s devastating talent for the short story. Her shrewd encapsulations of contemporary life often center on characters displaced more by choice than circumstance, characters both determined to install themselves in new lives and preoccupied with the people they’ve left behind.(P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Reseñas de la crítica
In Savas’s astute and absorbing collection of stories, her protagonists find themselves questioning long-held assumptions about their innate qualities as encounters with friends and strangers, lovers and family members, prompt reevaluations that can sometimes be gently forgiving and at other times quietly devastating."
Cosmopolitan and richly observed, the stories probe the disparate versions of the self that spring up in encounters with an almost-forgotten past: an old friend you’d written off too soon, people from the place you once called home, a host parent you couldn’t fully appreciate. Savas is fluent in the ways we experience displacement and change, and how we seek connection over time.
A reflection on displacement, dissolution, and disappointment . . . Savas’ real skill here [is] her ability to tap into a universal truth that even home can feel foreign, old friends can become strangers, and familial ties, once physically loosened, can suddenly become unfamiliar.
Savas’s characters uncouple, miss connections, and reunite after absences . . . These . . . seemingly modest pieces display Savas’s great grace and simplicity, as the reader is reeled into her characters’ lives.
Sumptuous . . . creates a kind of omakase menu. Individual, perfectly composed dishes have both a visible and ephemeral connection with each other . . . The collective offers a rumination on the many ways there are distances in our lives.
Savas is a superb writer, both on the level of the sentence and as a designer of plot . . . Aysegül Savas is currently generating the sort of buzz that makes other writers jealous, and the thirteen stories in Long Distance make it clear that she deserves those kudos.
Savas describes disconnection and discord so well that you can feel all the unsettled emotions in the pit of your stomach.
Savas captures the complexities of desire and loss in this gorgeous collection . . . With unsparing grace, Savas tenderly illustrates the struggles of her characters as they seek fulfillment. There’s much to love in these brilliant stories.
Alliances and affections shift, understandings waver and beliefs are challenged in this collection of stories which individually and collectively convey the difficulties of maintaining connections in a fractured world. Subtle but clearly drawn sketches of the ties that bind and that, inevitably, come undone.
At times, [Savas'] characters mull over the past, lamenting all they didn’t say, but more often, they are breathless, eager to see what lies ahead. That, for Savas, is a kind of redemption: to move through the world with eyes open, to never stop looking. It’s that propulsion, by turns detached and relentless, that drives these stories: a desire to see the world, to luxuriate in it, without ever losing time . . . The narrators here are always looking, seeking out the exuberant, the peculiar: the landlord’s pocket embroidered with his initials, a rock climber ‘curiously like an insect.’
