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

This was an interesting read, but I feel the title and marketing for the book were misleading. It's entirely about theater, and very little about sword fights, umbrellas, or anything else mentioned. The essays are extremely thoughtful and at times pretentious. It gave me some interesting concepts to mull over, but wasn't exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up.

I grabbed this book from the library because Jonny Sun mentioned it inspired an essay collection he's working on. I can't wait to read his when it comes out!
