One of Vulture's "e;25 of the Most Exciting Book Releases for 2017"e;One of Nylon's "e;50 Books We Can't Wait To Read In 2017"e;An entirely original portrait of a young writer shutting out the din in order to find her own voiceOn April 11, 1931, Virginia Woolf ended her entry in A Writer's Diary with the words "e;too much and not the mood."e; She was describing how tired she was of correcting her own writing, of the "e;cramming in and the cutting out"e; to please other readers, wondering if she had anything at all that was truly worth saying. The character of that sentiment, the attitude of it, inspired Durga Chew-Bose to write and collect her own work. The result is a lyrical and piercingly insightful collection of essays and her own brand of essay-meets-prose poetry about identity and culture. Inspired by Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Lydia Davis's short prose, and Vivian Gornick's exploration of interior life, Chew-Bose captures the inner restlessness that keeps her always on the brink of creative expression. Too Much and Not the Mood is a beautiful and surprising exploration of what it means to be a first-generation, creative young woman working today.
