{"product_id":"encyclopedia-of-an-ordinary-life-a-memoir-1","title":"Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life: A Memoir","description":"A memoir in bite-size chunks from the author of the viral Modern Love column “You May Want to Marry My Husband.”\n\n“[Rosenthal] shines her generous light of humanity on the seemingly humdrum moments of life and shows how delightfully precious they actually are.” —The Chicago Sun-Times\n\nHow do you conjure a life? Give the truest account of what you saw, felt, learned, loved, strived for? For Amy Krouse Rosenthal, the surprising answer came in the form of an encyclopedia. In Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life she has ingeniously adapted this centuries-old format for conveying knowledge into a poignant, wise, often funny, fully realized memoir.\n\nUsing mostly short entries organized from A to Z, many of which are cross-referenced, Rosenthal captures in wonderful and episodic detail the moments, observations, and emotions that comprise a contemporary life. Start anywhere—preferably at the beginning—and see how one young woman’s alphabetized existence can open up and define the world in new and unexpected ways.\n\nAn ordinary life, perhaps, but an extraordinary book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1400080460\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1400080460.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rosenthal, Amy Krouse\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
