‘It is never too late to lean into sadness and realize that you can sit with it and others and survive’
Literature is the way we wrestle with grief, meaning and survival. In this book, Justin McDaniel, Professor and former Buddhist monk, invites us on a sixteen-week course of radical reading designed to unsettle, transform and restore. Each chapter is modelled on his popular university course, which requires the class to read a novel in a single sitting, grappling with complex feelings that arise and then articulating them before they evaporate in the busyness and distraction of the outside world.
Through a captivating range of modern classics from around the globe – by James Baldwin, Carmen Maria Machado, Yukio Mishima, Ottessa Moshfegh, Paul Bowles and more – Existential Despair explores the experiences that shape us and test us to our limits, from childhood to longing, sex, loneliness and death.
Existential Despair is a rare opportunity to pursue an immersive reading experience that is so much more than entertainment; one that could save your life.
