SIGNED EDITION Author: Siri Hustvedt Diaries, letters & journals | Memoirs | Prose: non-fiction | Coping with death & bereavement | Dating, relationships, living together & marriag e Published on 5th May 2026 by Hodder & Stoughton (Sceptre) in the United Kingdom.Hardback | 320 pages, N/A 222mm x 138mm | 500g In this moving new memoir, celebrated writer Siri Hustvedt recounts the experience of navigating with her husband, Paul Auster, what she'd dubbed "Cancerland." She walks us through his diagnosis, the treatments, the peaks of hope and the valleys of suffering, and the love they continued to share along the way. It is a patchwork-quilt memoir that stitches together emails sent by Siri to update friends on Paul's health, letters drafted by Paul for their grandson to one day read, and memories recounted by Hustvedt with her signature lyricism and poetic prose. The result is an emotional, full-bodied story of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster's life together and its battling final chapter, and an examination of the state Siri has found herself in in the time since that parting.
