I Wrote This Book Because I Love You: Essays by Tim Kreider

5.0

Though this book of essays is, on the surface, an exploration of the author's relationships with women (and his cat) over the years, Kreider expertly layers those experiences with politics, religion, psychology, and existentialism. Kreider's writing is deeply self-conscious, witty, and sharp, not to mention very funny. While there are moments where his blunt honesty and acknowledgement of his flaws can be uncomfortable, the collection is ultimately a refreshing rumination on the imperfections, joys, and complexities of intimacy.
