Yiyun Li writes deeply, drolly, and with elegance about history, even as it's happening. She is one of my favorite writers, and \u003ci\u003eMust I Go\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary book.' Meg Wolitzer \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLilia Liska is 81. She has shrewdly outlived three husbands, raised five children and seen the arrival of seventeen grandchildren. Now she has turned her keen attention to a strange little book published by a vanity press: the diary of a long-forgotten man named Roland Bouley, with whom she once had a fleeting affair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncreasingly obsessed by this fragment of intimate history, Lilia begins to annotate the diary with her own rather different version of events. Gradually she undercuts Roland's charming but arrogant voice with an incisive and deeply moving commentary. She reveals to us the surprising, long-held secrets of her past. And she returns inexorably to her daughter, Lucy, who took her own life at the age of 27.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMust I Go\u003c\/i\u003e is an unconventional epistolary novel, a gleefully one-way correspondence between the very-much-alive Lilia and the long-departed Roland. Though mortality is ever-present, this is ultimately a novel about life, in all its messy glory. Life lived, for the extraordinary Lilia, absolutely on its own terms. With exquisite subtlety and insight, Yiyun Li navigates the twin poles of grief and resilience, loss and rebirth, that compass a human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYiyun Li\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three novels, \u003ci\u003eWhere Reasons End,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Vagrants\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKinder Than Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e, and two short-story collections, \u003ci\u003eA Thousand Years of Good Prayers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGold Boy, Emerald Girl, \u003c\/i\u003eas well as the memoir, \u003ci\u003eDear Friend, From My Life I Write to You in Your Life\u003c\/i\u003e.
