Warn for the kent state shooting photograph on the 9th page. It's a well known photograph, but very sad to see still as it captured someone crying beside their peer. Just a friendly warning as i personally like to be told beforehand for such things.

kelleykamanda's review against another edition

I wanted to get into it but found it very repetitive due to the nature of the theme.

lmshearer's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

This book reminded me of two others I've read this year, Maggie Nelson's Bluets (which fell a bit flat) and Sheila Heti's Pure Colour (which I loved). The Crying Book falls between these two. On the whole, the author succeeded in balancing the exploration of tears and human emotion  with personal memoir.
