Praise for "The Forever Marriage"
"Funny, surprising and gratifyingly honest, this novel poses unsparing questions about love and betrayal and the reasons we make the choices we do." --"MORE "Magazine
"Bauer and "The Forever Marriage "poignantly and powerfully illustrate the great and often tragic ironies of life." --"Minneapolis Star Tribune"
"With lovely prose and fine pacing, Bauer offers a sensitive portrait of a flawed woman coming to terms with a lifetime of regrets." --"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
But who s offering absolution in a secular age? Ann Bauer s warmly satirical novel Forgiveness 4 You offers an answer from a neoliberal dystopia: the marketplace. "
The author of previous novels, including The Forever Marriage (2012), has crafted an exploration of absolution that manages to be simultaneously irreverent and compassionate. "
Forgiveness 4 You is probing, startlingly honest, and remarkably empathic. Ann Bauer s scrutiny of hunger for absolution crossing into the fearsome unbounded web, where religion goes online, and advertisers attempt to monetize the process, provides strong answers suffused with compassion. This story is as captivating and strikingly written as it is provocative. I inhaled this novel. "
In this engrossing novel, Ann Bauer turns her sharp and empathetic eye on a cast of broken people trying to find meaning in an increasingly cynical world. In the tradition of George Saunders, Forgiveness 4 You imagines a near future where everything--even grace--can be commodified, but where our better angels still wield surprising power. "
At turns touching, insightful, and deliciously cynical, FORGIVENESS 4 YOU is a rare novel, indeed. Its premise is wholly original, and it addresses both profound human struggles and current popular culture with humor and compassion. Terrific for book clubs, it s sure to spark plenty of laughter and debate. "
A poignant and very funny story about the advertising of redemption and, yes, the redemption of advertising. And like all good ex-Catholic priests, Gabriel McKenna bears a secret in his soul. Amen, I say. FORGIVENESS 4 YOU is Graham Greene for the Age of Twitter. "
"An intelligent, thought-provoking and quietly unnerving work" "The Wall Street Journal"
"Humorously, compassionately and cynically, forgiveness becomes a business in this compelling novel" "The Minneapolis Star Tribune"
"This novel is fresh and original, and the wholly satisfying ending doesn t at all take the easy way out." "Library Journal Review"
"But who s offering absolution in a secular age? Ann Bauer s warmly satirical novel "Forgiveness 4 You" offers an answer from a neoliberal dystopia: the marketplace." "Slate"
I love all of Ann Bauer's writing, but what makes this book so special is how wonderfully humane it is. It's a rare thing for a story to be so sharp and yet so compassionate, but "Forgiveness 4 You" manages to send up craven ad execs and make your heart hurt for them at the same time. It might even make you be a little kinder to yourself about your own past transgressions, which speaks to the depth and soul of this brilliant novel. -- Jessica Grose, author of "Sad Desk Salad"
