100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write

Playwright's quirky reflections on art and life.

If you're juggling the chaos of daily life with a deep appreciation for art, Sarah Ruhl's "100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write" could resonate with you. She juxtaposes the ordinary, like dealing with lice, against profound cultural discussions, all from the perspective of someone steeped in the world of theatre. It's a read that promises to be as entertaining as it is thought-provoking, ideal for those who love a blend of personal anecdote and artistic insight.

Description

100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write is an incisive, idiosyncratic collection on life and theater from major American playwright Sarah Ruhl. This is a book in which chimpanzees, Chekhov, and child care are equally at home. A vibrant, provocative examination of the possibilities of the theater, it is also a map to a very particular artistic sensibility, and an unexpected guide for anyone who has chosen an artist's life. Sarah Ruhl is a mother of three and one of America's best-known playwrights. She has written a stunningly original book of essays whose concerns range from the most minimal and personal subjects to the most encompassing matters of art and culture. The titles themselves speak to the volume's "On Lice," "On Sleeping in the Theater," "On Motherhood and Stools (the Furniture Kind)," "Greek Masks and Bell's Palsy."
