In burnished, exquisite prose, Browning describes her feelings of
being set adrift until she gradually transforms her helter-skelter
days into a deliberate, contemplative way of life. There s a lovely
thinking out loud quality to Slow Love that makes the reader privy
to Browning s soul. --Judy Bolton-Fasman
Not only an elegant and meditative writer but a pungently witty one
... Triumphantly, [Browning] makes the case for slow love achieved,
a process she describes as the flip side of nostalgia: the state of
'knowing what you ve got before it s gone.' --Miranda Seymour
There cannot be a person on earth who does not sometimes wonder
what the purpose of their life is. Dominique Browning was lucky
enough to get fired, so she had time to find out who she was or
might be. And we are lucky that she was able to write (often with
great humor) about her loss, her loves, her pajamas and ultimately,
her return to life. --Maira Kalman, author and illustrator of The
Principles of Uncertainty
If you read one book, make it Slow Love advice we could all use,
regardless of whether we re gainfully employed!
Starred Review. There is such feeling and care on each page of
Browning's well-honed memoir--her rediscovery of nature, her avowal
to let love find her rather than seek it, tapping satisfying work
at her own keyboard--that the reader is swept along in a pleasant
mood of transcendence.
