Praise for The Crying Book One of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Books in Lifestyle in Fall 2019 Bustle
, 1 of 11 New Memoirs for Your Fall Reading List Paperback Paris, 1 of 12 New Books You'll Want to
Bring Outside This Season '[A] lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural
study.' ―The New York Times Book Review 'Poet Heather Christleâ€s book is about more than crying.
As she reflects on the loss of a close friend to suicide and her own battle with depression, Christle asks why
and how we cry and what it means, especially for women, to do so. But in The Crying Book, the
authorâ€s blend of personal experience and scientific research gives way to broader discussions about
motherhood, mental health, grief and art.' ―Annabel Gutterman, Time, 1 of 11 New Books You Should
Read This Month 'Why do we cry? How do we cry? And what does it mean? This young poet examines
scientifically and culturally the true art and meaning of tears.' ―Jake Thompson, E! News, One of the
Best New Books of the Month 'An eclectic reflection on human waterworks . . . The unconventional
format, combined with the author's vast survey of the topic, provides fascinating food for thought. A
surprisingly hopeful meditation on why we shed tears.' ―Kirkus Reviews 'Readers are sure to be moved to
tears themselves. This is a lovely meditation on life and death through the lens of tears, both those spurred
by grief and those by joy.' ―Booklist 'The bookâ€s effects are sly and cumulative, relying not so much
on any one observation as on associations, echoes, contrasts―a method that reflects Christleâ€s view of
art and life, the interdependence, the complex contagion and repetition of feeling and action and reaction that
marks them . . . Itâ€s about grief and friendship, but only delicately so. Christle wants to preserve the
particularity of experiences while illuminating what they have in common. Again and again she emphasizes
that separation: 'It is dangerous,' she insists, 'to always think one thing is another, every event a metaphor for
another.' This is also to say that writing itself is dangerous, as well as essential.' ―Lidija Haas, Harper's
Magazine 'Stunning.' ―Sophia Stewart, Los Angeles Review of Books 'Christle is a poet, and her prose
shows it. You will surely end the book knowing much more about tears than when you started . . . Christle
invites us into her sadness and along the way manages to unlock the beauty within.' ―Jonathan Foiles,
Psychology Today 'Why do we cry? Heather Christle turns to poetry, philosophy, and personal experience
for an inquisitive approach to answering this question.' ―Elena Nicolaou, Refinery29, One of the Best
Books of the Month 'Few people understand the physical, political, mental, and emotional power of tears
like Heather Christle, the poet behind The Crying Book.' ―Cristina Arreola, Bustle, 1 of the 19 Best New
Books of the Month 'The scope of The Crying Book is surprisingly vast―we learn as much about crying
as we do about grief, art, motherhood, and Christleâ€s life. As she conducts and shares her painstaking
research, she is also intimately attuned to her pain; she weaves together her examination of crying with her
personal experiences, studying tears while shedding them herself. The result is a book that is as informative
as it is profoundly moving.' ―Sophia Stewart, ZYZZYVA 'The Crying Book isnâ€t merely a study, or

even an abbreviated cultural history. Itâ€s also a memoir about motherhood, mental illness, grief, and
(naturally) tears . . . The bookâ€s most striking moments are when Christle sounds like a poet―where
she mixes the sadness of her subject matter with a playful and surprising freedom on the page.' ―
Joshua James Amberson, Portland Mercury 'In The Crying Book, Heather Christle makes a poignant and
piercing examination of the phenomenon of tears―exhaustive, yes, but also open-ended, such that I was left
clutching this book to my chest with wonder, asking myself when the last time was that I cried, and why. A
deeply felt, and genuinely touching, book.' ―Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected
Schizophrenias 'Heather Christle's new book is a combination of personal musings about depression,
childbirth, and motherhood, and fascinating researched tidbits about crying―its history, its use in literature
and pop culture, its politics, and the science behind it all. Basically, it's Maggie Nelson's Bluets, but about
crying, and it's every bit as dazzling as the stars that dot its cover.' ―Cristina Arreola, Bustle, 1 of 36 New
Books of the Season You Need to Have on Your Autumn Reading List 'The Crying Book adds a gravity
to crying, a validation.' ―Amie Souza Reilly, The Adroit Journal '
