So they created a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social anxiety and deal with it in this very particular way. Although, it's a comedic book, the goal is to help these readers: Comedian Pera and illustrator Bennett has the tendency to seek refuge in the bathroom – mostly to get a moment of respite from work and just have a few moments of quietness – or to politely end conversations. So, they decided to create a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social anxiety in a comedic style. Texts From Jane Eyre: And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters by Mallory Ortberg A very good example for my argument is the new novel by Ian McEwan called "Nutshell", where an unborn child is given all the abilities to think and feel what he experiences inside the womb and well outside with a most powerful ability to verbalize his reactions. If the reader is not willing to agree with the deal that this fiction could be worthwhile reading despite all his obvious disbelief that this is of course not possible then the novel rests on the bookshelf unread and untouched. There the stage director is in total command of a stage more or less bare of any but basic props like two ladders, some chairs, etc. and without a curtain. The three acts are birth, marriage and death encompassing the whole of everyman's normal life (if he or she has any children). The most common town, the gathering together of a few homes including even a few strangers and dropouts, "our town" is raised to the standard of what life (and death) is really about. The Greek word "polis" is here all important and relevant.

Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it’s just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it’s the only way they know how to politely end conversations. You're not going to laugh out loud (probably—except maybe for the Jane Goodall jokes). But you just might smile—even a half-smile—because it reminds you of human oddities. And maybe because it'll remind you that you're not alone in needing this oasis from reality. This is a gentler humor—the purpose of it is to help you relax and regroup, maybe to take a beat and prepare to leave the bathroom to face whatever social pressure (or similar hurdle) lies outside the bathroom.

Other precursors of this idea are of course the ancient Greek playwrights, Euripides, Sophocles, etc. in Antiquity, in Athens where the (only male) actors wore masks and hobbled helplessly or majestically around the stage in high platform shoes, almost like stilts. And then of course there was always the chorus, interrupting, commenting and reviewing the plot as well. Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it's just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it's the only way they know how to politely end conversations. A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape is written and constructed rather well. Pera and Bennett have created a graphic novel that is compact, entertaining, and could be read in one sitting (preferably on a toilet). It is a carefully constructed meditation on life, anxiety, and the necessity of temporarily walling ourselves off from the chaos of the outside world.

Kitap, şu anda bilmem nerede bir tuvalettesin, gözünü kapat, rahatla, olmadı bi duş al demek için yazılmış, en az Joe Pera'nın kendisi kadar komik olmayan ve son derece basit ve önemsiz tespitleri arka arkaya sıralayıp üzerine iki üç resim çiziktirerek cool takılan bu yeni nesil Amerikan havalı, çakma entelektüel, jointten beyni erimiş lümpen yarı ünlü tayfanın bok yemesi. Arada da daha önce iki kez nişan yüzüğünü klozete atıp sifonu çektiğini yazarak cayır cayır yanan sınıf kinimi harladı sağolsun. Umarım kendisini markalı markalı giyilebilir teknolojik ıvır zıvırı ve cebindeki sadece yüz dolar nakiti (çünkü kesin apple pay falan kullanıyordur götüm, "çok fazla nakit" taşımıyordur) için bıçaklarlar New York sokaklarında da, devamını falan yazmaya niyetlenmez daha. Then De Botton has another strategy to cancel the treaty between his readers and his fictional text disrupting the willing suspension of disbelief. Whenever he feels like interfering in his so-called novel he does so in paragraphs of their own in italics. Thus one can decide to read the "novel" only and discard his authorial thoughts about the action of only read the passages in italics and learn what the author's basic theory about marriage is like, which are not contradictory and irrational and opaque as real life mostly is I am afraid. A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape is a graphic novel written by Joe Pera and illustrated by Joe Bennett. It is a delightful and introspective look into social anxiety and the safe haven of escape that the space of a bathroom provides.The primary purpose of books in the bathroom is to be entertained while you do…less entertaining things. Brosh’s illustrations are a hilariously accurate depiction of depression and the trials of adulthood but they are also just flat-out funny. Whether she’s talking about the dynamic between her two dogs, “helper dog” and “simple dog,” or her need to consume cake at all costs, this book will make you laugh so hard you’ll be glad you’re seated appropriately. Wilder wants his audience to identify with the two main characters, a young woman called "Emily Webb" and a young man called "George Gibbs" are the secret heroes, the examples of a normal life here on earth. Nothing extraordinary, nothing special of course. This attitude in a play is of course rather new because previously plays showed extraordinary characters, whether tragic of rather comic beginning with King Oedipus, to Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, a Long Journey into Night, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Death of a Salesman (Willy Lowman!) as a possible exception. So they created a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social anxiety and deal with it in this very particular way.
