So Sad Today: personal essays - Softcover

An utterly bewitching book and ... a thrillingly tangible account of what it is to be a human being, right here, right now. I loved it. So many staggering and difficult observations. So many beautiful turns of phrase. There aren't many writers who can stare into the abyss and report back with humour, panache, and a rich, gutsy spirit. Melissa Broder can. It's a book I'm going to read again, and talk about, and pass on. --Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals
