Synopsis "A Dreary and Glorious Snapshot: A Book About All of Us"
What's it like inside of your mind? How would or could you possibly describe it? In A Dreary and Glorious Snapshot, author Jason Gropp takes on the Herculean task of using words to recreate his ever-so-busy mind on paper so that you, his reader, can share his experience of consciousness. His goals? To learn more about himself while helping you reflect on your own life journey, mental health, values, fears, and aspirations. Personal essays, short stories, movie scripts, poems and thought prompts are just some of the tricks up Jason's sleeves to make his own thoughts public and turn your thoughts inward in a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, you will encounter The Darkness, "Thirteen Reasons Why" you should stay true to yourself, Bohdi the Pet Raccoon, the Biggest Challenge, the Punishment Room, Three Dreary and Glorious Letters, and an earworm-just to name a few. Entertaining, eccentric, intriguing, creative, and thought-provoking, this book is impossible to label. Part philosophy, part memoir, part self-help, and entirely art, this is a book that every teen and adult should read to help them better know their own story.
