5 Stars - Highly Recommended / The Next Best Book
Pages: 138
Publisher: Kingshot Press
Releases: March 2016
An inverse review in live-tweets of MARIGOLD.
Warning: this book is basically a series of sad, heart-clutching, suicidal vignettes. I wanted so badly to reach inside the pages and give the narrator a hug. Or maybe a smack across the face. And then a hug.
Painfully beautiful. Perfectly neurotic.
- I just inhaled Troy James Weaver's MARIGOLD. two and a half hours. one sitting. It drops on March 11th. Do yourself a favor and get it.
- Does that make you just want to crush this dude with love? #PrevTweet
- more from MARIGOLD - i want to spill my soul to a perfect stranger who actually gives a shit, just to know what that might feel like
- seriously, he just handed me a paper with 10 complete-these-sentences all about death. It's an assignment he is working on #prevtweet
- Synchronicity - reading a book about a narrator who is contemplating death and having my hubby hand me a sheet with 10 questions about death
TNBBC - I mean, fuck, right? Who HASN'T said jerky things to someone when you know you are being jerky but you just can't seem to stop?
- to relate to someone who is like 10 years younger than you but they irk you and you are jerk to them and you know it and can't stop
- oh my. is it wrong to empathize with a jerky male narrator? -He reminds me so much of myself at his age it makes me want to kill him
- yes, I'm live-tweeting the book I'm reading. no, I'm not sorry.
- MARIGOLD is a series of sad, heart-clutching vignettes. I want so badly to reach inside the pages and give the narrator a hug.
- When contemplating suicide, the narrator of MARIGOLD thinks - Maybe I'll take a sick day when I do it? That way I'm getting paid.
- Just starting MARIGOLD. - I dial up the suicide prevention hotline, get a busy signal, and wonder if that's a sign of the times
Goodness. And MARIGOLD is such a completely upbeat and sunshiney title!
