Claire-Louise Bennett’s Big Kiss, Bye-Bye is now available as an Audiobook in a Card, offering a thoughtful way to share a work of contemporary fiction.
The things that hold life in place have been lifted off. Uprooted from the city to the countryside, a woman lives in temporary limbo, visited by memories of all she’s left behind. Most persistent are those of Xavier, who has always been certain he knows her better than anyone. Xavier, whom she still loves but no longer desires, a displacement he has been unable to accept. An unexpected letter brings back a torrent of others she’s loved or wanted. The ephemera left by their passage make up a cabinet of curiosity she inventories, trying to divine the essence of intimacy. What does it mean to connect with another person? How do we let them go? In yet another tour de force of fiction, Claire-Louise Bennett explores the mystery of how people come into and go out of our lives, leaving us forever in their grasp.
This audiobook is narrated by the author herself, deepening the intimacy of the experience and allowing the rhythm and precision of her language to unfold through sound.
