The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

For a reader who likes language as a cabinet of specimens.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

John Koenig's dictionary of invented words for emotions the old words do not quite cover.

Three reasons

  1. You can open it anywhere and find a feeling that did not have a name.
  2. It is a dictionary and a book of short essays, which makes it a gift you can start in the car.
  3. The link is the Simon & Schuster paperback, not a summary or a Kindle file.
