A thrilling metafiction about grief, the internet, and the difficulty of knowing others, The Voices of Adriana combines the psychological acuity of Marguerite Duras with the creative possibility of One Thousand and One Nights.

Adriana has become obsessed with her father's online dating. Recently widowed, he's on a self-destructive, manic search for a partner to accompany him through his twilight years. At the same time, her life as an isolated grad student feels unreal, and to fill the void of her mother's death, Adriana begins writing, trying on different voices. She builds worlds from the online profiles of her father's latest flings, that is until more fundamental voices--those of her grandmother and mother--begin calling out to her in the night.The Voices of Adriana, the latest from Spanish writer Elvira Navarro, is an innovative novel about grief and how we might reanimate the voices of those we've lost, not as ghosts, but as living parts of ourselves.
