Un libro molto breve che parla del lutto dell'autore (La morte della moglie).
È diviso in parti che si deduce siano state tutte scritte in periodi ben distanti e che quindi rappresentano le fasi del dolore. Nei primi capitoli c'è la descrizione di una sofferenza smisurata, uno sfogo totale, mentre alla fine si arriva a una razionalizzazione e accettazione di quel che è accaduto

Some lovely gems in here. I will definitely return to some of these key lines. A lot of religious stuff that did not particularly resonate with me but I understand that it's not really *for* me. A very approachable length book for a grieving person when a big book feels like too much.
One incredible line which I don't think he meant to be humorous but which I found hilarious: "What do people mean when they say 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good?' Have they never been to the dentist?" As a fellow dentist hater, dentists and their scrapey tools also make me doubt the existence of a benevolent God.
