\u003cbr\u003eAlthough he was highly intelligent enough to graduate with honors from Brown University, and went on to become a journalist and best-selling author after graduation, he is actually a shy and introverted person who finds peace when alone.\u003cbr\u003e A person who loved his family, friends, and dogs more than anyone else, but who also struggled with the emptiness and anxiety that resided in a corner of his heart.\u003cbr\u003e A person who thinks that he is too strange and wants to live an ordinary life in his next life, one that is neither too grand nor too complicated.\u003cbr\u003e This kind of person looks closely at himself and unravels each and every knot of his emotions and thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps those who read Nap's writing will laugh, cry, and feel pain at this honesty.\u003cbr\u003e Caroline Knapp's writing is so compelling that it can be described as a form of empathy and immersion. \u003cbr\u003eEven if there are people who don't know Nap, they can't help but fall in love with him once they know him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Keywords that can describe Caroline Knapp's life can be summarized as follows:\u003cbr\u003e Addiction, deprivation, family, pets, friendship, love, attachment, work, growth, grief, loss, isolation, solitude… … .\u003cbr\u003e In particular, addiction is an indispensable keyword in Nap's life.\u003cbr\u003e He saw how far he could fall through alcoholism and anorexia, and it took him another moment to confront himself head-on in an attempt to pull himself out of that dark place.\u003cbr\u003e As translator Kim Myeong-nam, who understands Caroline Knapp's life more deeply than anyone else, said, Knapp tried to talk about self-understanding, acceptance, and change, and never gave up hope to become a freer, happier, and more authentic person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom the author, who accepted his strengths and weaknesses as they were and ultimately realized the joy of life, we can feel a friendship that feels like it has lasted a long time, even though we have never met before.\u003cbr\u003e Nap's story is like my story, and like my friend's story.\u003cbr\u003e This is Nap's talent, and the power of his writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDo not ignore the loneliness before you\u003cbr\u003e Accepting

dressed casually, eating a late dinner. Her favorite drama is about to start on TV, and her beloved dog is curled up beside her.\u003cbr\u003e The answering machine alarm is blinking, telling you to check your messages, but there's no need to rush to check them.\u003cbr\u003e In this seemingly ordinary moment, he is suddenly able to define himself in complete sentences. \u003cbr\u003e“I am a cheerful hermit.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Caroline Knapp's journey through life's ups and downs is ultimately a way to learn how to accept oneself and how to live in relation to the world and the prejudices of others.\u003cbr\u003e Establishing your own standards for how and to what extent you will interact with the small world you have built and the countless worlds built by others.\u003cbr\u003e When Nap suddenly realizes his own standards and values ​​for life, he realizes that this is a precious gift and a kind of victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Caroline Knapp isn't ashamed of the fact that she's full of mistakes and flaws.\u003cbr\u003e If that were the case, I probably wouldn't have been able to confess so honestly about the experiences I've had to get to where I am today. \u003cbr\u003eHis stories of love and remorse for his family, the deep friendships he shares with his few friends, his genuine affection for his dog, his keen observations of what's happening in the world, and the self-esteem that comes from accepting one's own strengths and weaknesses will resonate and comfort readers who have longed for understanding.\u003cbr\u003e Just as Napp was able to define himself in complete sentences, I dare to imagine that readers of this book will be able to do the same after closing the last page. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 4, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344 pages | 440g | 138*214*18mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791189932671\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1189932679 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890486050858,"sku":"129354","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/bfdf8c3f66fcd517600d91525bf9543b.jpg?v=1765299454","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/129354","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
