by Jacqueline Novak (Author)

This darkly funny memoir from "one of the next great stars in comedy" (Mike Birbiglia) doesn't offer help overcoming depression--just much-needed comfort, company, and tips for life inside the fog.

"No one is able to synthesize the Venn diagram of depression and hilariousness quite like Jacqueline Novak."--Nick Kroll

"While most books on depression try to help you win the war, this one is merely a cigarette in the trenches."

With advice that ranges from practical (Chapter 17: Do Your Crying on a Cat) to philosophical (Chapter 21: Make Peace With Sunshine), this laugh-out-loud memoir traces the depression thread from Novak's average suburban childhood to her current adult New York City existence, an imperfect but healthy-ish life in which Novak is mostly upright but still rarely does laundry.

At heart, How to Weep in Public provides a no-pressure safe zone for the reader to curl up inside. Whether you're coping with the occasional down day or thriving fully in Picasso's blue period, it's the perfect place to regroup during a dark stint. Jacqueline will be waiting to tell you "You can fight another day." No, not as in "fight on another day" but "fight this some other day."

So sit back, relax, and let Jacqueline Novak show you how to navigate the shadowy corridors of your troubled mind--or the cheese display at the supermarket when food is the only thing that can save you.
