A woman describes a series of encounters she has with various people in the ordinary course of her life: an ex she runs into by chance at a public forum, an Airbnb owner unsure how to interact with her guests, a stranger who seeks help comforting his elderly mother, a friend of her youth now hospitalized with terminal cancer. In each of these people the woman finds a common need: the urge to talk about themselves and to have an audience to their experiences. The narrator orchestrates this chorus of voices for the most part as a passive listener, until one of them makes an extraordinary request, drawing her into an intense and transformative experience of her own.
In What Are You Going Through, Nunez brings wisdom, humor, and insight to a novel about human connection and the changing nature of relationships in our times. A surprising story about empathy and the unusual ways one person can help another through hardship, her book offers a moving and provocative portrait of the way we live now.

The words build like waves. It's always too late when you realize you've been hit by a tsunami. The part where her friend invited her to the bar had me in a chokehold. Did hate the backstory of the adopted cat tho.(展开)
作品的原书名是What Are You Going Through（Quel est ton tourment?）你的痛苦、折磨是什么？在译后记中可以看到，现在的书名是译者加工的，参考的事法国哲学家韦伊《等待上帝》中的话，”我们对邻人的爱，充其量就是能够对他说一句’你在经历什么‘？”这种名字上的改变无疑...

Our meaning clear to ourselves but to nobody else. Even people in love? People in love most of all.
