When a writer googles the name of her first love and discovers he committed suicide years ago, she is deeply shaken. Memories of Petrus begin to flood into her mind, followed by the memories of other loves, one after another. What exactly is love? How does it come and go? She begins to search her personal history for answers. Twelve men. Twelve chapters in a novel. Melancholy Petrus, handsome actor Jakob, Simon with his pet rat, gay Nathanael, a student, her brother. Her husband's story is supposed to be the last. But as story after story unfolds, the past and present entangle until her orderly search is interrupted by present-day complications of love and by a startling event overlooked at home that begins to seize the plotline of both her art and life.

Industry Reviews

"One Another is a beautiful, charming, funny and philosophical book about the mad gamble of love. Schwitter is a miraculously gifted writer, and it's pure pleasure to ricochet around her roomy, vibrant universe. There are no cold cases here-in these twelve chapters, old flames burn bright again, rekindled by the narrator's powerful imagination. She fuses these shards of broken relationships into a mirror, revealing her own face to us in the process-a true delight." -- Karen Russell, author of "Swamplandia!" and "Vampires in the Lemon Grove"
"Are we the sum of our beloveds-how we choose them, how we leave them, how we are abandoned? One Another is a young wife's clear-eyed, witty look back on her twelve great loves: an album of memory and desire, of husbands, dogs, meals, debts, cemeteries, penguins, lovers and sons. Written with fervent honesty. Lit deeply from within." -- Dylan Landis, author of "Rainey Royal" and "Normal People Don't Live Like This"
