Advance Praise
“These pieces move back and forth across the boundary between
memoir and fiction. Vivid and gripping, they offer memorable characters
and events. One narrative moves deeply into a marital
relationship—suggesting a kind of paradigm for the systole and diastole
of marriage that I found profoundly moving. And troubling. And
satisfying.” —Janet Burstein, Drew University
“One reads Gerber headlong, driven to turn her pages as rapidly as possible, leaping toward resolution.” —Cynthia Ozick
“Handled

uncovers a core truth about travel: to surrender to a place, not the
version from one’s fantasies but as it really exists, is the only way to
experience it. ”—Los Angeles Times
