Cecil Slanka: How to Say Goodbye

*How to Say Goodbye* by French author Cécile Slanca. It interestingly presents short, note-like letters capturing the unique situations that can occur when breaking up with a lover, such as being abandoned or leaving them behind. Written in the form of a novel, this book consists of humorous letters from Europeans saying goodbye. We learn how they love and how they part ways. We can also vividly realize the difference between how we and they express our feelings of parting. Unlike us, who often express regret to a parting lover, the Europeans depicted by the author speak of separation rationally and coldly. However, within their words lies a certain emotion similar to what we feel when we break up. Thus, through their breakups, which appear similar yet different, and different yet similar, we gain a glimpse into our own psychology when telling a lover that we are parting ways. Hardcover.
