Like her first book, "What you are going through" is a smart, haunting little book with an experimental feel that in all its wisdom and humor is not easy to stomach. The narrator meets various people in her life; all of them have the urge to talk about themselves. She is a listener until one of them makes an extraordinary request. This is a brain twister slapping us with the fact that yes, we are all going to die. Playing on themes similar to her bestseller The Friend, Nunez gives us a first-person narrator who visits a friend with terminal cancer. It's a book about human connection, a story about empathy and relationships in our times. Nunez draws the reader in because she gets life, in all it's absurd realities and misfortunes. Conversational in tone, which gives it a personal touch. She could be speaking to any of us, anywhere.
