Named a best book of 2017 by NPR, The Guardian, Slate, NYLON and The Globe and Mail (Canada)

From Durga Chew-Bose, "one of our most gifted, insightful essayists and critics" (Nylon), comes a warmly considered meld of criticism and memoir (New Yorker), a lyrical and piercingly insightful debut collection of essays about identity and culture.

Too Much and Not the Mood is a beautiful and surprising exploration of what it means to be a first-generation, creative young woman working today. On April 11, 1931, Virginia Woolf ended her entry in A Writer's Diary with the words "too much and not the mood" to describe her frustration with placating her readers, what she described as the "cramming in and the cutting out." She wondered if she had anything at all that was truly worth saying.

The attitude of that sentiment inspired Durga Chew-Bose to gather own writing in this lyrical collection of poetic essays that examine personhood and artistic growth. Drawing inspiration from a diverse group of incisive and inquiring female authors, Chew-Bose captures the inner restlessness that keeps her always on the brink of creative expression.

Decent
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7", Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7"
Instructions aren’t very clear. Takes a bit to figure out. Pretty cheap quality, but seems to be sturdy. The metal basket part of ours came rather bent and had to do some bending to get it to fit right. Decent size could be little thicker. They look good though once up.

Stylish and functional, but limited by size.
Color: Walnut, Size: 4 inch
These SRIWATANA small floating shelves are a great addition for anyone looking to add a touch of style and function to small spaces. The 4-inch walnut wood design is compact yet sturdy, perfect for displaying mini plants, candles, or collectibles. Installation is straightforward, and the finish gives a warm, rustic look that works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, or offices. Ideal for minimalist or modern decor. Just keep in mind they're best suited for lightweight items.
