Product Information

Alexander Popper can't stop remembering. Four years old when his father tossed him into Lake Michigan, he was told, Sink or swim, kid. In his mind, he's still bobbing in that frigid water. The rest of this novel's vivid cast of characters also struggle to remain afloat: Popper's mother, stymied by an unhappy marriage, seeks solace in the relentless energy of Chicago; his brother, Leo, shadow boss of the family, retreats into books; paternal grandparents, Seymour and Bernice, once high fliers, now mourn for long lost days; his father, a lawyer and would-be politician obsessed with his own success, fails to see that the family is falling apart; and his college girlfriend, the fiercely independent Kat, wrestles with impossible choices. Covering four generations of the Popper family, Peter Orner illuminates the countless ways that love both makes us whole and completely unravels us. A comic and sorrowful tapestry of memory of connection and disconnection, Love and Shame and Love explores the universals with stunning originality and wisdom.

"Love and Shame and Love is an epic book -- epic like Gilgamesh and epic like a guitar solo. When I finished it, my head was buzzing, my heart was pounding, and I was pumping my fist high in the air for Peter! Goddamn! Orner!"-- Daniel Handler, author of The Adverbs, Orner [has a] gift for the well-placed single word that can denote full-throttled exasperation....Addictively compelling., Vibrant and captivating, this novel about three generations of the Popper family of Chicago resonates with truths about human nature....Orner's surefooted control of his narrative gradually discloses information that conveys emotional and physical atmosphere....Two themes-sometimes comic, often rueful-intersect throughout: the secret shames, frustrations, and humiliations that each character endures, and the search for love that blossoms and then fails in each generation. A richly layered, intimate picture of a distinctive but also typical family enduring life's vicissitudes and stoically carrying on., PRAISE FOR ESTHER STORIES (2001) "The spirit of Esther Stories is, like true beauty, no aesthete, and, like true love, no sentimentalist." --Marilynne Robinson, PRAISE FOR LOVE AND SHAME AND LOVE "Orner anatomizes family relationships with precision in a novel that spans three--and touches on four--generations....He approaches his narrative with a nonlinear chronology, moving back and forth from Seymour's wartime notes to Bernice, to Alex's adolescent peccadilloes, to Alex's letters to Ella. The result is a masterful, multifaceted novel. Readers will find both love and shame in abundance in Orner's teeming fictional world."-- Kirkus Reviews, I consider Peter Orner an essential American writer, one whose stories unfold with a flawless blend of ease and unpredictability. Every sentence he writes is wide awake to his characters' hearts, and it is for the clarity with which he makes me feel time working its changes in their lives, and by extension in my own, that I keep returning to his books. Esther Stories was among the best story collections of the last decade. Love and Shame and Love is among the best novels of this fresh new one., "Orner [has a] gift for the well-placed single word that can denote full-throttled exasperation....Addictively compelling." -- Library Journal , -, PRAISE FOR THE SECOND COMING OF MAVALA SHIKONGO (2006) "A gorgeously written book, very funny, and bursting with soul." -- Dave Eggers , Guardian "Orner hits the right notes and no others...He has written a starvation diary about desire with as much sexual tension as a bodice buster." -- Mark Schone , New York Times Book Review -- -, "I consider Peter Orner an essential American writer, one whose stories unfold with a flawless blend of ease and unpredictability.

When I finished it, my head was buzzing, my heart was pounding, and I was pumping my fist high in the air for Peter! Goddamn! Orner!, "Love and Shame and Love is a finely crafted family album, told in comic and heartbreaking snapshots, of America in the 20th Century. Orner has captured his characters in motion, bringing the past exquisitely and precisely to life even as he illuminates the present, timeless, struggle to make family, and life, meaningful. This is a big, smart, generous, important novel."-- Antonya Nelson, author of Bound, "Vibrant and captivating, this novel about three generations of the Popper family of Chicago resonates with truths about human nature....Orner's surefooted control of his narrative gradually discloses information that conveys emotional and physical atmosphere....Two themes-sometimes comic, often rueful-intersect throughout: the secret shames, frustrations, and humiliations that each character endures, and the search for love that blossoms and then fails in each generation.

This is a real and memorable America., " Love and Shame and Love is a marvel. It left me with that feeling we all crave when we read-the sense of wonder you wake with after a dream, realizing just how mysterious is this world."-- Marisa Silver , Author of God of War, PRAISE FORTHE SECOND COMING OF MAVALA SHIKONGO(2006) "A gorgeously written book, very funny, and bursting with soul." --Dave Eggers,Guardian "Orner hits the right notes and no others...He has written a starvation diary about desire with as much sexual tension as a bodice buster." --Mark Schone,New York Times Book Review, PRAISE FOR ESTHER STORIES (2001) "The spirit of Esther Stories is, like true beauty, no aesthete, and, like true love, no sentimentalist." -- Marilynne Robinson, PRAISE FORLOVE AND SHAME AND LOVE "Orner anatomizes family relationships with precision in a novel that spans three--and touches on four--generations....He approaches his narrative with a nonlinear chronology, moving back and forth from Seymour's wartime notes to Bernice, to Alex's adolescent peccadilloes, to Alex's letters to Ella.
