Infertility And Me: Stories of Infertility Survivors, IVF, & TTC

What Is Missing: An Infertility novel by Michael Frank


Listen Later

Monique and Michael explore the various complexities of infertility and how it affects relationships. Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, his new novel, What Is Missing, is—among other things—a love triangle, a father-son story, and an exploration of the subject of infertility. It may possibly be the first literary novel to take on the “uncharted ground” (The Wall Street Journal ) on which families can be built, or rebuilt, by IVF. 

The New Yorker has described the book as “a penetrating examination of how a life can be defined by contingency and surprise”, and novelist Julie Orringer has said that the book “asks the most urgent questions about biology and nurture, about filial and parental love, and about what we’re willing to suffer to find out who we are. This is a wise and necessary book, one I’ve been recommending ardently to everyone I know.”
