| Thoughts: I have heard of both The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning and Marie Kondo, but I didn’t know that 1) “after the birth of Marie Kondo’s third child, her rigorous attitude towards tidying her home relaxed in order to make room for more personal priorities at this stage of her life,” and 2) there’s an author who goes by the pseudonym of Messie Condo who has written 2 parodies — so far, and this being one of them — based on the ideas of the Swedish death cleaning concept and Marie Kondo’s writing. I loved this writer’s “voice” (copious curse words included), and I laughed out loud and cackled a lot while reading it. It came across as very real to me, particularly by nailing human nature and calling all of us on our bullshit. I highly recommend the audiobook version read by Hillary Huber. | |||
