300 Arguments
Sarah Manguso
‘Jam-packed with insights you’ll want to both text to your friends and tattoo on your skin … A sweeping view of a human mind trying to make order of the world around us.’ Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere
Think of this as a short book composed entirely of what I hoped would be a long book’s quotable passages.
300 Arguments is at first glance a group of unrelated aphorisms, but the pieces reveal themselves as a masterful arrangement that steadily gathers power. Manguso’s arguments about writing, desire, ambition, relationships, and failure are pithy, unsentimental, and defiant, and they add up to an unexpected and renegade wisdom literature. Lines you will underline, write in notebooks and read to the person sitting next to you, that will drift back into your mind as you try to get to sleep.
