Searching for Anthony Love: A History of Dust - Paperback

by Ginger Teppner (Author)

In the tradition of Virginia Woolf and Clarice Lispector, Searching for Anthony Love is a daring, lyrical novel that follows a woman grappling with the presence of a beloved who has died.

Told through fragments, meditations, and moments of startling clarity, the book traces how love continues to shape consciousness long after its object is gone. Searching for Anthony Love explores the interior spaces where longing, embodiment, and spiritual inquiry collide--where sadness becomes a location, vulnerability a form of knowledge, and the body both a shelter and a site of fracture.
