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

3.0

I was misled by marketers like the others - this is a book about the world of theater and the role of playwrights within that world - I thought the essays would be anecdotes of the creative life and how becoming a parent affects it. That said, her thinking was interesting and so well expressed that it held my interest even though it concerned and extensively referenced a world I know nothing about. Her tone can be a bit wrapped up in itself at times, but then she will say something that makes me smile, that changes how I think about the topic.

Kudos to Sarah Ruhl, shame on the marketing department of this publisher. Enjoy your sales at the expense of finding your author the proper audience to enjoy her wonderful writing.
