Readical Key Points
Pairs Goldberg's 2016 novella Other Women with three short stories
Introduction by Megan Nolan
Subjects include young womanhood, unrequited love, and a nanny's view of a wealthy family in New York and Berlin
Paperback from Verso Fiction, 224 pages
In the novella, a young woman who has left college drifts through New York, unseen and exposed, pining for a man who will never return her feelings. A job as the Herzfelds' live-in nanny takes her to Berlin with the family, where their secrets start to surface and her own footing gets shakier. The three stories that follow keep the same close, intimate narration.
It suits readers of spare literary fiction about women, desire and misjudgment, told from inside a narrator's head. It is a coming-of-age story told by someone still in the middle of it.
