By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept
You’ve loved someone so much it hurt. But you’ve never put that pain into words... until now. This book does exactly that, in sentences that ache like a bruise and glow like poetry.
Torrential, poetic, and searingly intimate, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept is less a novel than a fever dream of obsession. Elizabeth Smart’s cult classic chronicles an all-consuming love affair, its ecstasy, its ruin, and the unbearable clarity that sometimes follows.
Written in incandescent prose, this book is not about plot. It’s about surrender to passion, to language, to longing itself.
