Juan's contribution
This book is the fruit of years of work on the blog entries of “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” created by John Koenig in 2009.
A friend recommended it to me as a result of some videos published on John Koenig's YouTube channel, where the author maintains and collects some of the words created for the dictionary. It is a compendium of words that do not exist, but that depict situations and feelings that we all experience, but that have not been described before.
I quote here John Koenig's message in which he reveals his work:
A compendium of invented words, that aims to fill holes in the language—to give a name to emotions we all feel but don't have a word for.The author's mission is to capture the aches, demons, vibes, joys and urges that roam the wilderness of the psychological interior. Each sorrow is bagged, tagged and tranquillized, then released gently back into the subconscious.
I have been following this blog for years because I find it exciting. In fact, I keep a notebook where I wrote down some of the most interesting descriptions of it. Fortunately, the author decided to create a book where he collects all the work published on his blog, ordered and grouped by subject.
As an example, I only dare to recommend some of the many words collected in the book, some of them have been revealing to me, and in many cases, even poetic, but it is true that almost all of them are enlightening. Please, watch any of the videos and you will be hooked!.
For all this, I recommend this new book (which fortunately can be read online) and I am sure it will surprise more than one.
I hope you enjoy it!
