I Wrote This Book Because I Love You: Essays by Tim Kreider

4.0

incredibly funny. made-me-chuckle-out-loud funny. i picked it up after reading one of his very good articles about the unexpected spread of the "terrifying ordeal of being known" bit on tumblr, whose original essay i didn't know was also in this book.
i already liked his prose a lot, but certainly didn't expect to find it as relatable as it is, well, at least as much as a 18 year old woman can relate to the problems of a (at the time) 46 year old man, but a lot of the musings about existential dread, political anxieties and general loneliness hit specially hard, for reasons that forgo explanation.
