100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write: On Umbrellas and Sword Fights, Parades and Dogs, Fire Alarms, Children, and Theater by Sarah Ruhl

4.0

In typical Sarah Ruhl fashion, this entire collection of essays takes a whimsical (sorry, Ms Ruhl) approach to a variety of subjects that are all somehow related to theater.

From animals to children to writing to Shakespeare to inspiration to craft to how awful the word whimsical is, Ruhl seems to cover it all. The essays range widely in length, some being only a few words long, others a mere paragraph, and still others more conventional in length.

Ruhl is laugh out loud funny, relatable, and insightful. This book is a pleasure to read.
