Jenny Lawson Boeken

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A new book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson, destined to be a classic—part therapy, part best friend, part humor, part coloring book. When Jenny Lawson is anxious, one of the things she does is to draw. Elaborate doodles, beautiful illustrations, often with captions that she posts online. At her signings, fans show up with printouts of these drawings for Jenny to autograph. And inevitably they ask her when will she publish a whole book of them. That moment has arrived. You Are Here is something only Jenny could create. A combination of inspiration, therapy, coloring, humor, and advice, this book is filled with Jenny’s amazingly intricate illustrations, all on perforated pages that can be easily torn out, hung up, and shared. Drawing on the tenets of art therapy—which you can do while hiding in the pillow fort under your bed—You Are Here is ready to be made entirely your own. Some of the material is dark, some is light; some is silly and profane and irreverent. Gathered together, this is life, happening right now, all around, in its messy glory, as only Jenny Lawson could show us.

The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

The author delves into her lifelong struggle with mental illness in a humorous and candid manner. She tackles the seemingly absurd idea of discussing crippling depression and anxiety through a lens of laughter and outrageousness. As she notes, the concept of being "furiously happy" might seem like a cover for irresponsibility, but it’s a celebration of embracing life’s bizarre moments. She humorously recounts her own experiences, like inviting kangaroos into her home, highlighting the absurdity of life and relationships. Most of her cherished friends are also wonderfully flawed, and they’ve learned to be open about their struggles, transforming their vulnerabilities into a shared normalcy. The book emphasizes the importance of seizing joyful moments, which serve as a counterbalance during darker times. It contrasts merely "surviving life" with truly "living life," suggesting that joy can be found in the most unexpected situations. Lawson’s unique blend of humor and honesty shines throughout, making her insights both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny. This work is a celebration of all aspects of our identities—both beautiful and flawed—and encourages readers to find joy in the outrageous.

Auf ihre unnachahmlich liebenswürdige und verrückte Art beschreibt Jenny Lawson ihren Kampf mit Depressionen und Angststörungen. Indem sie »Ja« zu absurden Möglichkeiten sagt und so alltägliche Momente wundervoll macht, findet sie ihre ganz persönliche Waffe gegen die Krankheit. Ja zu der Liebe zu einem ausgestopften Waschbären, ja zu einer Australienreise, obwohl es sie oft überfordert, auch nur das Haus zu verlassen, ja zu Voodoo-Vaginas, Ponys im Flugzeug und mitternächtlichen Katzenrodeos. In den dunklen Stunden zehrt sie von diesen Erinnerungen – eine Einstellung, die ihr Leben gerettet hat. Mit unendlich viel Humor, Mut und Ehrlichkeit will die Autorin zeigen, dass wir nicht allein sind, und uns die Stärke geben, trotz Depressionen das Leben auszukosten.

Jenny Lawson pochodzi z zabitej dechami dziury w Teksasie. Dorastała pośród nietuzinkowych ekscentryków, w domku izolowanym azbestem. Jej ojciec – zarośnięty olbrzym wyglądający jak niebezpieczna wersja Zacha Galifianakisa – kochał zwierzęta, ale poza tym uwielbiał… polowania i zajmował się taksydermią. Mama była z kolei gorącą zwolenniczką dosłownej interpretacji maksymy „Co cię nie zabije, to cię wzmocni”, co nie mogło pozostać bez wpływu na psychikę bohaterki i jej dalsze życie emocjonalne, zwłaszcza że już jako dziecko cierpiała na stany lękowe i depresję. Jenny postanowiła opowiedzieć swoją historię i nie owija w bawełnę. Przez jej poczucie humoru miliony ludzi zwątpiło we własny zdrowy rozsądek, łamiąc sobie głowę nad którąś z szalonych teorii autorki, na przykład tą, że Jezus tak naprawdę był zombie. 'Jenny Lawson jest zabawna, kąśliwa, bystra, zupełnie nieprzyzwoita i „jak Matka Teresa, tylko lepsza”.' „Marie Claire” 'Zabawna, obrazoburcza i zaskakująco budująca. Po lekturze Udawajmy, że to się nie wydarzyło będziecie z niecierpliwością czekać na jej kolejną książkę.' „People” 'Lawson kpi z samej siebie w prześmieszny i cudownie obrazoburczy sposób, ale pozwala jej to mówić szczerze i bez ogródek o takich kwestiach jak depresja, stany lękowe i bezpłodność.' „O, The Oprah Magazine” 'Czytając The Bloggess śmiejecie się na głos, ale wiecie, że nie powinniście i że pewnie pójdziecie za to do piekła. Może więc lepiej tego nie czytać. Tak byłoby mądrzej i bezpieczniej.' Neil Gaiman, pisarz, autor bestsellerów na liście „New York Timesa”
