The writer declines — and then finds she cannot stop thinking about Rouenna: her bluntness, her loneliness, her working-class Staten Island world so unlike the literary one the narrator now inhabits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a friendship neither woman quite intended, and — after tragedy intervenes — the book the narrator once refused to write. Moving between downtown New York and the evacuation hospitals of Vietnam, \u003cem\u003eFor Rouenna\u003c\/em\u003e is Nunez at her most quietly devastating: a novel about who gets remembered, who does the remembering, and what writers owe the people who trust them with their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigrid Nunez\u003c\/strong\u003e won the National Book Award for \u003cem\u003eThe Friend\u003c\/em\u003e.
