Product Information

"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 There will come a time when people decide you've had enough of your grief, and they'll try to take it away from you. Bad art is from no one to no one. Am I happy? Damned if I know, but give me a few minutes and I'll tell you whether you are. Thank heaven I don't have my friends' problems. But sometimes I notice an expression on one of their faces that I recognize as secret gratitude. I read sad stories to inoculate myself against grief. I watch action movies to identify with the quick-witted heroes. Both the same fantasy: I'll escape the worst of it. --from 300 Arguments A "Proustian minimalist on the order of Lydia Davis" ( Kirkus Reviews ), Sarah Manguso is one of the finest literary artists at work today. To read her work is to witness acrobatic acts of compression in the service of extraordinary psychological and spiritual insight. 300 Arguments , a foray into the frontier of contemporary nonfiction writing, is at first glance a group of unrelated aphorisms. But, as in the work of David Markson, the pieces reveal themselves as a masterful arrangement that steadily gathers power. Manguso's arguments about desire, ambition, relationships, and failure are pithy, unsentimental, and defiant, and they add up to an unexpected and renegade wisdom literature.

Reviews
"A writer's life, solitary and complex, broken apart--not into shards but puzzle pieces. . . . A slim, poetic self-portrait that opens up as you read it and stays in the mind." -- Kirkus Reviews "Inventive. . . . All of life's great subjects are here--love, relationships, happiness, desire, and vulnerability on the personal side; effort, luck, envy, and success vs. failure on the professional side--in one- and two-sentence nuggets of compressed insight. . . . It will require multiple rereadings to absorb the book's rewarding wisdom." -- Publishers Weekly " 300 Arguments shook me. It's dark, but the darkness comes from a refusal to look away. Its humor is wounded but present. Is it possibly a sort of novel? The writer says somewhere, 'This book is the good sentences from the novel I didn't write.' The idea holds up when applied, and the attentive reader will intuit an encompassing narrative. Sarah Manguso deserves many such readers." --John Jeremiah Sullivan "A new book by Sarah Manguso is always a cause for celebration. She is a poet-philosopher of the highest order who combines a laser-sharp intellect with a lyric gift and a capacious, generous heart. She is one of my favorite writers, and with 300 Arguments she deepens her inquiry into the very essence of what it is to be human." --Dani Shapiro, " 300 Arguments is the book of aphorisms that I've been waiting for: trenchant, witty, and sometimes absurd. . . . Perhaps that's whyI'm so drawn to it: each nugget of wisdom is something I'm tempted to share on social media or email to a friend. Sometimesbrevity is exactly what we need to make sense of the complicated world we live in." --Michele Filgate, Literary Hub "Perspective-altering. . . . The accumulation of these entries has a certain difficult-to-deny power. . . . I wanted to gift it to everyone Iknow, read it aloud to strangers on the bus, and transcribe it by hand in its entirety like a holy text." --Joshua James Amberson, Portland Mercury "A writer's life, solitary and complex, broken apart--not into shards but puzzle pieces. . . . A slim, poetic self-portrait that opens up as you read it and stays in the mind." -- Kirkus Reviews "Inventive. . . . All of life's great subjects are here--love, relationships, happiness, desire, and vulnerability on the personal side; effort, luck, envy, and success vs. failure on the professional side--in one- and two-sentence nuggets of compressed insight. . . . It will require multiple rereadings to absorb the book's rewarding wisdom." -- Publishers Weekly "Alternately insightful, humorous and thought-provoking, [Manguso's] 300 Arguments offers enough variety, depth and substance torange from the deeply personal to the universally relatable. . . . 300 Arguments paints a vivid, intimately nuanced portrait of itsauthor in the way few long-form essays manage. . . . [It] should be required reading for all those experiencing crises of confidenceand the otherwise deleterious effects of the human condition." -- Spectrum Culture " 300 Arguments shook me. It's dark, but the darkness comes from a refusal to look away. Its humor is wounded but present. Is it possibly a sort of novel? The writer says somewhere, 'This book is the good sentences from the novel I didn't write.' The idea holds up when applied, and the attentive reader will intuit an encompassing narrative.

She is one of my favorite writers, and with 300 Arguments she deepens her inquiry into the very essence of what it is to be human." --Dani Shapiro, "This collection transcends any category to be something totally its own. . . . Manguso''s captured the argumentative voice of a mindsifting through a problem, circling it, animated by sorting it out. . . . If this is poetry, it''s the poems of quarrel. And if it''s nonfiction, it''s not the nonfiction of fact. Instead, it''s the nonfiction which maps us to our own thinking. We enter Manguso''s mind - her puzzle,pleased to be puzzled, too." --NPR "All Things Considered" "[300 Arguments] reads like you''ve jumped into someone''s mind." --NPR "Weekend Edition" "Sarah Manguso paints a mostly opaque, but at times penetratingly clear, self-portrait of a female writer at work. . . . The narrator''stemper is mercurial; economical sentences range in tone from pithy and sardonic to tender and deeply empathetic. . . . But by theflip of a page, this wise and compassionate narrator descends into punchy one-liners that are darkly funny and sharper around theedges." -- Hazlitt " 300 Arguments is the book of aphorisms that I''ve been waiting for: trenchant, witty, and sometimes absurd. . . . Perhaps that''s whyI''m so drawn to it: each nugget of wisdom is something I''m tempted to share on social media or email to a friend. Sometimesbrevity is exactly what we need to make sense of the complicated world we live in." --Michele Filgate, Literary Hub "Perspective-altering. . . . The accumulation of these entries has a certain difficult-to-deny power. . . . I wanted to gift it to everyone Iknow, read it aloud to strangers on the bus, and transcribe it by hand in its entirety like a holy text." --Joshua James Amberson, Portland Mercury "[ 300 Arguments ] beckons the reader to return, to read a sentence, and put it down again. . . . Her arguments . . . are crystallineand often walloping. . . . There is ambition leaking out of every page." -- New Republic "Manguso resuscitates the aphorism from its descent into maxim, bringing it back as a spur to thought. . . . Manguso''s unsettlingarguments deliver the world back to the reader at 300 different, jarring angles." -- Literary Hub "A writer''s life, solitary and complex, broken apart--not into shards but puzzle pieces. . . . A slim, poetic self-portrait that opens up as you read it and stays in the mind." -- Kirkus Reviews "Inventive. . . .

Manguso covers vast territory with immense subtlety and enviable wit." -Jenny Offill
