Summary
<i>The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows</i> defines new words for emotions that we all feel but don't have the language to express. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition. This truly original book is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives, which have far more in common than we think. --Adapted from container
