Like a child born of the bell hooks classic All About Love and Maggie Nelson’s Bluets, Adam Gnade’s latest autobiographical novel takes a hard look at love in all forms—romantic, platonic, love of place, of chosen family, of destiny and purpose. Structured in large part as a book of lists, I Wish to Say Lovely Things is a complicated, big-hearted look at what it is stay loving and gentle in a violent age. Through it all, Gnade’s characters struggle to get out of bed in the morning, fight for what they believe in while getting zero in return, and hope like hell in the face of hellish hopelessness. I Wish to Say Lovely Things is a graceful, philosophical, clear-eyed beacon with which to light your path through this painful, exhausting, and tremendously magnificent life.
