I Wrote This Book Because I Love You: Essays

This is the book that contains that much-quoted essay about how “if you want to enjoy the rewards of being loved, you also have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.” That's pretty much the high mark of this collection. Overall, it's an enjoyable essay collection with a lot of killer sentences in it. There's some self-reflection that is a little bit cringey, but that's the point of it, I suppose?
