Rules for Others to Live By
Rules for Others to Live By: Comments and Self-Contradictions | Richard Greenberg
5 posts | 1 read
Between stressing about his theater friends and reconciling his complicated feelings about an inconsistently wonderful New York City, Tony Awardwinning playwright and Pulitzer finalist Richard Greenberg also maintains a reputation for being something of a hermit. He takes the time to privately process the absurdity of the world outside, and the result is this hysterically funny and daringly thoughtful collection of original essays. In Rules for Others to Live By, he shares lessons from his highly successful writing career, observations from two long decades of residence on a three-block stretch of Manhattan, and musings from a complicated and occasionally taxing social life. Firmly sympathetic to the struggles of the more bizarre and unstable among us, Greenberg tackles a range of topicsfrom the difficulties of friendship to the art of writing, the pain of heartbreak to the curiously unpredictable weather of his neighborhood, and the moderate hypochondria that comes with age, as well as the more serious health crises that unfortunately also come with age. In essays that are at turns quietly subversive and thoroughly hopeful and life-affirming, Greenbergs distinct and hilarious voice articulates our own mild obsessions and the idiosyncrasies that we can only hope will go unnoticed in a crowd. From the Hardcover edition.

Hello fellow Littens!!! As Litsy grows in popularity, there are many new members to our Litsy family who may not be aware of how swaps work. We've created these guidelines in order to help these exchanges go as smoothly as possible.

Mehso-so

Though some of the essays in this book were entertaining, many of them seemed pointless and the overall effect was rather disjointed.
