James Runcie
A profound examination of grief and a great celebration of love by internationally bestselling author James Runcie.
In early 2020, as the world sunk into the pandemic, James Runcie and his wife Marilyn Imrie were going through a different, far more personal tragedy. After 35 years of miraculously happy marriage, they learned that the painful, frustrating symptoms Marilyn had been experiencing for two years were a sign of Lou Gehrig's Disease. With this diagnosis, during the isolation and strangeness of the pandemic, James and Marilyn's lives were transformed.
Now, in his startling and intimate memoir, James tells the story of Marilyn’s illness and death–-in all its moments of tragedy, rage, and strangeness-–while painting a vivid portrait of her life, in all its color, humor, and brightness. Tender, funny, and deeply true, Tell Me Good Things is an unforgettable story of life before death and love after grief.©2022 James Runcie (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー
A tender memoir of the challenges of bereavement... I closed this book wishing I’d met her – but feeling that I almost had.
A widower turns grief into a profound appreciation of his wife’s legacy in this poignant elegy … Runcie entwines beguiling digressions on everything from Victorian mourning customs to the philosophy of soccer fandom among his evocative vignettes of their life together … The result is that rare thing, a moving exploration of a great marriage and its ability to nourish the mind and heart.
Runcie generously fulfils the promise of his title… because his memoir is full of good things: stories that reveal Imrie’s sharp intelligence, her bold fashion sense, her glee at pricking the bubble of pretension… Runcie is also touchingly honest… Tender memoir.
A deeply emotional memoir … and a moving meditation on grief … Sorrow imbues a tender, intimate memoir.
[Tell Me Good Things] is not primarily a memoir of illness — of an unwinnable battle to stay alive — but a love letter to the most important person in [Runcie’s] life.
Vivid, bleak and wonderful… Where Runcie is excellent is in laying bare his own grief, its narcissism and the ‘bizarre freedom’ is gives him not to care anymore… As an instructive examination of how to find hope in the thralls of despair, Tell Me Good Things is a wonderful addition to the literature of bereavement.
Wise, refreshing ... A touching human story.
Runcie has the gift of the born storyteller
Variations on themes of love, loss, and grief run throughout the novel... Runcie beautifully renders each character’s humanity and convincingly portrays a creative environment.
