This week’s #SaturdaySentence comes from “A Heart That Works,” a memoir by the writer, actor and comedian Rob Delaney about love and grief in the wake of his 2-year-old son, Henry’s, death. The author Mary Laura Philpott reviewed the book for us. “There’s nothing undercooked or unpolished,” she writes, about the captivating spiral narrative Delaney crafts, doling out memories and digressions with precision and modulating the emotional volume with impressive control. He touches on his son’s death, spins away into a poignant contemplation of the invisible burdens of strangers or a profanity-laced swipe at the American health care system, then comes back to his central loss, again and again. Will you cry? Yes, unless you have no soul. You’ll also have space to catch your breath.” Tap the link in our bio to read the full review.
