So Sad Today: Personal Essays

Product Information

I am an eater who enjoys structured magic. I don’t feel courageous enough to let myself eat whatever I want, because I don’t want to face the wrath of what my mind will do to me after. I have a vested interest in keeping things under control, because when I lose my illusions of control I get very scared. The world is scary enough as it is. Just let me have this way of life.

I really don't know how to sum this book up. I didn't like it, then I kind of admired it, then I finished it, then for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's not really aimed at me, but in a strange way it makes me much more keen to read The Pisces because I think that a lot of the subjects Broder is dealing with are extremely potent and productive subjects for fiction. They just need that sublimation; otherwise it's too much like reading a print-out of someone's LiveJournal, no matter how honest and well written and no matter how much I think, after all, that I rather like the person who wrote them.

People aren’t just posting when they’re having a great day, right? It’s more like when they’re in hell and seeking an answer.
