Equally vital is connection with others, who here include an adrift member of Gen Z and a spirited parrot named Eureka. \u003ci\u003eThe Vulnerables\u003c\/i\u003e reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress. A search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time, Nunez’s new novel is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSigrid Nunez\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eA Feather on the Breath of God\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last of Her Kind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Friend\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhat Are You Going Through\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
