Summary:
"A beautifully illustrated, celebratory anthology exploring sadness -- and the transformative power of
tears
. When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were
sad
? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry -- and the circumstances in which we shed a tear -- are often surprising and beautiful.
Sad
Happens
is a collective, multi-faceted archive of
tears
that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances. We hear from Mike Birbiglia on the role that grief and pain have in comedy; Jia Tolentino on how motherhood made her cry in both hormonal joy and fervent rage; and Hanif Abdurraqib on the intimacy of crying on planes. We hear from Phoebe Bridgers on poignant moments of departure and JP Brammer on the strange disappointments of success; Matt Berninger on becoming a crybaby in his adulthood and Hua Hsu on crying during a moment of public uncertainty. We also hear from everyday people in a range of professions: an actor on the tips she learned from drag queens about preserving a full face of makeup while crying; a zookeeper on mourning the animals who have died during her tenure; a bartender on crying in the walk-in; and a TV critic on the shows that have moved her. Brimming with humanity, this anthology is confirmation that
sad
happens
-- but so does joy, love, a sense of community, and a host of other emotions. By turns moving and affirming,
Sad
Happens
is an emotional balm and visual delight."--Publisher.
