"These essays are sad and uncomfortable and their own kind of gorgeous. They reveal so much about what it is to live in this world, right now." -Roxane Gay, New York Times-bestselling author of Bad Feminist
From acclaimed poet and creator of the popular twitter account @SoSadToday comes a brutally honest collection of essays "at once devastating and delightful . . . as raw as it is funny" (Cosmopolitan).
Melissa Broder always struggled with anxiety. In the fall of 2012, she went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread that wouldn't abate for months. So she began @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she explores on Twitter, grappling with sex, death, love low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back.
With insights as sharp as her humor, Broder explores-in prose that is both ballsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic-questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer, in order to discover what it really means to be a person in this modern world.
"If her Twitter account is a darkly comic 'creative way to distract myself and cope,' . . . [Broder's] essays are deeper excavations of that same mind." -Elle
"[Broder] has a near-supernatural ability to not only lay bare her darkest secrets, but to festoon those secrets with jokes, subterfuge, deep shame, bravado, and poetic turns of phrase." -New York Magazine
"Melissa Broder is undoubtedly one of the best essay stylists at work today." -Ploughshares
