“This stunning anthology is a powerful, generous reframing of what it means to build a life—a reminder that connection, interdependence, and shared responsibility are not fringe experiments but ancient inherently human qualities that have the power to heal the world.”
—Sophie Lucido Johnson, author of Kin: The Future of Family
“A lively collection that invites us all to consider how we might live together. No need for a total commune vision; this book lifts up the joys of cohabiting with friends, family, and chosen family even if only for a short while. And, crucially, the stories teach us how to envision living together, navigate the reality, and depart with gratitude and grace.”
—Casper ter Kuile, author of The Power of Ritual
“If you desire a life that you breaks from the well-worn path of marriage and kids and a big house in the burbs, if you wish for a life that is less a reflection of society’s defaults and more of a work of art, one that reflects your creativity, desires, and grandest vision of what makes a good life, then you must read this book. You can only truly know the life you want if you know the lives one can want. Living, Together will show you all the ways you can live.”
—Dr. Marisa G. Franco, author of Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends
“A town hall of real luminaries on a seriously under-pondered subject, Living, Together is the book I did know I needed but haven’t yet seen anywhere. These essays are rigorous, funny, authentic, and informative; I came away feeling 10 percent more hopeful about how we will possibly live now and 10 percent less dead inside.”
—Emma Copley Eisenberg, author of Housemates
