Practical, compassionate, and downright funny, How to Hold a Grudge reveals everything we need to know about the many different forms of grudge, the difference between a grudge and not-a-grudge (not as obvious as it seems), when we should let a grudge go, and how to honor a grudge and distill lessons from it that will turn us into better, happier people - for our own benefit and for the sake of spreading good and limiting harm in the world.

With a focus on the weird and eerie forces that lurk beneath the surface of ordinary experience, Kate Folk’s debut collection is perfectly pitched to the madness of our current moment.

Manchmal scheint es, als ob die Welt voller Idioten wäre. Man kann all die Idioten nicht ignorieren. Sie beherrschen die Welt bis in jede hinterste Ecke. Gerade die kleinen Ärgernisse des Alltags gehen einem auf den Keks, die, mit denen jeder einmal zu tun hat. Das Einzige, was einem übrig bleibt, ist, all den Idioten gedanklich eine lange Nase zu drehen. Was ich hiermit tue.
