The beauty of the human condition paired with preexisting words from around the world that are molded into new ones with emotive, poetic meanings.
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a collection of essays, fresh words and vivid explanations — created by the author — that are sensory-inducing, illuminative, and whimsical. It leaves you longing for an unending.

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. This has to be the most unique, powerful, BEAUTIFUL book I have read in a fairly long time. This author takes the origins of two words and combines it into one, then writes a deeply philosophical scenario that applies to our everyday lives. I could only read a bit at a time because I had to put the book down and soak in the meaning of each entry, letting the words wash over my soul. My words simply cannot do this book justice.
