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

While there were plenty of essays in this collection that went completely over my head because of theater 'jargon', they were nearly balanced out by the ones that spoke to me. More often than not, these were the ones where the author included excerpts of her life as a mother, such as "On lice", "On motherhood and stools (the furniture kind)" and "On interruptions." There were also some moments of laugh-out-loud humor ("Chimpanzees and audiences") and some rather thought-provoking ones ("The age of commentary" and "Writing and waiting").
